Christmas in Cambodia "Merry Christmas"

Christmas trees surrounding a Buddha shrine. Rather interesting, don't you think?









Isn't our little tree cute? We bought a hand made wooden nativity, a wreath, and a Santa stocking.

You can see Dad grading papers beyond the stocking. He said, "I put in 2 for 1 just grading papers".

We did have one of his students who is a member of the church, but hasn't been there in a number of years, attend church today. He was going to bring a friend with him, also a member of the dental class, but his mother wouldn't let him come.

What nice decorations you have in your nice apartment!!
I love your smiles. It makes me miss you guys. Merry Christmas!! It is odd to see" CHRISTmas" things around a Buddist Idol. Every one wants a chance to get gifts.

That is some serious christmasing, are you guys going caroling on christmas eve? Love you. We just got your Christmas card returned. We'll send it out again but by then it might be a valentine's day card.

Dad/Santa has 7 Santa visits between Dec. 22 and Dec. 26th, plus a Young Adult FHE on the 24th, Lunch for the Elders on the 24th, District meeting on the 25th. We think we will carol with the Young Adults and not go out visiting. It is interesting that there are a lot of Santas and Christmas Trees all around Phnom Penh, even sales 10 to 20% off encouraging gift giving.
Just a reminder, you all need to send anything but a one page letter(piece of paper folded with address) to the Phnom Penh address. SLC only taking one page pieces of paper.
