While our little apt. didn't have much Christmas decor we did have a mini-tree, a mini-nativity and family Christmas cards. It is a different Christmas season without family all around us but we are making the best of it - we're in the service of our Savior and what better way to spend Christmas than serving Him. We received emails from the two families we got closest to at the MTC in Provo and they are doing well - the Merrills in southern Africa and the Abnees in Turkey. They feel as fulfilled in their assignments as we do in ours. We did do some shopping and bought each other new workout suits, a pullover sweater for me and a new blouse for Eileen plus a couple of books from Deseret Book. Eileen wrapped them all up in Church News paper, put ribbons on them and they're sitting by the chair ready to be opened. Maybe if we wait until evening we'll forget what we got each other.
