Ch'usok

Today is Ch'usok. It is similar to Thanksgiving, with a few extras tossed in. I found a young girl's Ch'usok project online, so follow the link to read more about it.

When I found out this was a gift giving occassion, I thought it would be a neat idea to send everyone a Chusok gift. You should see the gifts!! There are large gift packs in the shops consisting of olive oil, soaps, fruits, and best of all SPAM. Here are a few photos of the gift sets:


This is a Spam Set. The price is 45,000 won, which would make it a $50.00 gift. So this Christmas, forego the fruit cake and give the gift of Spam!








This is Tuna and Sesame Oil. (yum!)










A soap/toothpaste set. There are also gift sets of fruit, and I would show you the box of Oriental pears we received for Ch'usok, but we have already dived into it. Oh well.




Since it would be very expensive to mail all this stuff, I have an idea. Today, lather up in the shower real good, fry yourself up a SPAM sandwich, eat a pear and know the Snellings are wishing you a Happy Ch'usok!

Should I send you some spam? At $2 a can from Walmart, you might could make quite a bit of money.

I can lather up real good in my morning shower, eat the pears for lunch while thinking of the Snelling Family in Korea, but I will have a real problem frying me up a chunk of SPAM
