The celebration of Christmas in Indonesia is much different. There are few decorations in the stores and malls. In one of the malls we heard some carolers. No nativity scenes. You will see a few banners along the streets that say “happy holidays.” No outside lighting. But we enjoyed the season by attending some parties/dinners with other members and on Christmas Day a big dinner with about 25 missionaries at the home of a member. We are thankful to remember the real meaning of Christmas--the birth of the Savior. We do miss our family and friends. We trust each of you had a Merry Christmas!

| Our "outside" decorations. This is on our front door. The only decorations on our floor of the building. |

| Our Christmas Tree! Much easier to put up then what I am use to--in fact I let Gail put the tree up this year and do all of the decorating! |

| This is the entrance to our hotel. You will see these at hotels and apartments that serve a high percentage of foreigners. |
In the lobby of our appartment.
Glad you had a nice day. We miss you!!!
