The embassy technically remained open until 5:00, but the DCM said yesterday "Non-essential personnel may be dismissed at 1:00, and essential personnel may depart if they've addressed all business." My DH replied "By, for example, forwarding my work phone to home?" which got a general laugh.

Today at 2:00 he looked up from his desk and realized he was the last person in the building.

I went and picked him up, and we swung by the store to stockpile food for the holiday. It was actually kind of festive, with lights everywhere, and a live band playing Christmas music in the shopping arcade. Turkeys were about $40 each, so we will not be having turkey, but otherwise it looks set to be a nice holiday.
