Christmas!

We wish everyone a very merry Christmas! We hope y'all enjoy good food and good company. We wish we weren't so far away, but are having a great Christmas here in Egypt. Our French friends invited us to a nice dinner party last night, and tonight we're joining a couple new friends from our church. And we recently got back from a great trip to Dubai, where we stayed with new family. All in all, nicer than we ever expected.

This this first (and perhaps will remain the only) time we did not get up Christmas morning. We slept past noon =)

Forget the commercialism I mentioned in the previous post: this is all about Jesus, celebrating the God of the universe and the irrational love that would cause him to live among us. It is in that spirit that we say again:

Merry Christmas!
