Since people here don't celebrate Christmas (they do celebrate New Year's and it's similar to Christmas, but hasn't gotten started yet), there isn't a lot of Christmas cheer around. However, at the Hilton Hotel they have up decorations and I went there yesterday for a Christmas tea with other ex-pat ladies. It was really fun to see the pretty decorations and even more fun to be with other women and have a time of encouragement. We hung out, ate some delicious desserts, read the Christmas story together, shared Christmas memories and prayed for each other. It was a really sweet time for which I was very thankful. Being away from friends and family is difficult so it's nice to have friends here to spend time with, who also are far away from family and friends. The Lord is so sweet to provide this fellowship for us.
Anyway, here are a few pictures of the decor....fun times!
