Merry Christmas!

Well, Christmas is now over in this part of the world. I didn't really do anything special for Christmas today. It's not a holiday in this country. I did plan to do some skiing, or skating, but it never materialized. I did hang out with some friends though, and got a few presents from various people. All in all, it was satisfying. I was away from my parents on Christmas for the third year in a row. My family for the second year in a row. I am starting to miss them...

Last year I was in Thailand on a mission trip over Christmas. The year before I was in Alaska with my sister's family. I was also in Thailand on 26 December, which was when the tsunami hit. Thankfully I was nowhere close to it, but still quite a tramatic event for the world. May the Lord be with the survivors and mourners gathered there today.
