We hope each one of you enjoy time with family and friends today. It is the evening of Christmas day here in Thailand. Krinny and I enjoyed the day together at an elephant camp, where we had a buffet lunch of Thai food! Certainly non-traditional but then again, living in a Buddhist country, outside of Churches all observances of Christmas seem to be limited to decorations and music at shopping malls. Consumerism is the one part of Christmas we could do without for sure! Rarely do the malls miss an opportunty to have a sale.

We enjoyed a Christmas time party with our co-workers on Saturday. Several of them are traveling during the time off. Please pray for their safe return as we start again on the 4th of Jan, 2013.

At any rate, we trust your Christmas will be blessed as you celebrate the birth of our Savior. Let us focus on the Reason for the Season!
