Christmas was an absolute blast this year. During the day nothing too special occured, but around 4 pm, all the tracks went to different places for a bit of community service (while it was on Christmas, it was more for it being Hannukah). My track went to an "old person home" where we sang different songs, gave out sufganiot, and just talked with the people there for about an hour.
Next, I was hoping to have Chinese food that night, but what I actually had was the next best thing, Japanese food. I was taken out that night with some friends, and we were going to go to a restaurant called Beijing, clearly a Chinese place, but about 20 people had already made a reservation there, so we instead went to Sushi Rehavia. It was still delicious, and was the first time I was there. For all of you at home who think I don't like sushi, well that is starting to change actually. I'm still not incredibly knowledgeable about sushi, but I am finding things I like.
Then came the best part of the night. THE NBA IS BACK IN ACTION!!!!!!!!!!! Even better, on Monday it was Aryeh K.'s 18th birthday, and he is arguably the biggest basketball fan I know and also most knowledgeable. We ended up getting back to base at about 11 o'clock, so the 2nd game of the night was coming to a close, so we watched most of the end of the Heat vs. Mavericks game, and then right after midnight, Adam B., Aryeh, Moshe, and Sarah L. (she is here visiting), and I went to a bar to watch the 3rd game, and in my opinion the best one - Lakers vs. Bulls. The game was actually pretty average at best with some glimpses of good basketball until the end, where Derrick Rose hit the game winning shot with 4 seconds remaining. It was even better because all of the Israelis at the bar were Lakers fans.
All in all, it was a good day, and a good holiday season.
