December 1, 2019 – I was informed that I haven’t written anything in awhile, but that’s mostly because I’ve been busy with finals and, therefore, haven’t done anything overly exciting. However, it is Christmas season in Amman, so I have lots of pictures to share. In Jordan, Christians make up about 4% of the population nationally, mostly concentrated in Amman. Many of these Christians come from Palestinian origin.
Despite the imminent threat of finals, we still had time at CIEE this week to set up and decorate our own tree before we head home to celebrate with our families.
Juxtaposed with the holidays, I’ve been studying for finals and getting ready to come home in 11 days. Thanks for reading!

Hi Matt!!
Thanks for the pics…I got teary-eyed as I was opening your message and thinking about this experience in your life already coming to an end. Best wishes with finals…and enjoy the next few days.
Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas! They will be so very happy to have you home!
Looking forward to seeing you in January.

Matt,
Thanks for posting these Christmas pictures from Amman. Your tree is beautiful even if it is artificial.
Have a safe trip home from your adventure of a lifetime. We hope to see you over the holidays.
