Well, it certainly doesn't LOOK like Christmas around here... at least a MN Christmas with a lot of snow. And it most certainly does not FEEL like Christmas around here with it being in the 90's every day. So we've been rockin' out to Christmas music and put up this little tree, stockings and nativity dolls to remind us that it TRULY IS December and we're just 15 days away from the day that our Savior was born.
Not quite like at "home" in the states, but we're thankful for what we have. We're thankful that we can celebrate Christmas so openly and freely here, that we can find little things that make it feel more like Christmas, that English Christmas music can be heard in all of the malls, and that there are Christmas decorations up in major areas. However, we're most thankful for the birth of Jesus, our Savior, whom God graciously sent to us that we might believe in Him and have eternal life. What a gift. What a God. What a Savior.
Your home looks very Christmas-y. It looked all fuzzy on skype. These are nice pictures. Love the Christmas-y blog too!
