A small Beijing Chris.tmas

Student made (teacher hung) classroom decorations.
My kids did a beautiful job brightening our little room
and keeping our moods cheerful in the long days before vacation. 

A package from home.
I could feel the love and smell
the sweet fragrance of home during the holidays.
Never without a "Happy Birthday Je.sus!"
Thanks Mom and Dad. I love you.

Feeling festive at school.
A recess shot of our Beijing winter so far...
no snow, just cold.
It's snowing a little in our apartment. :)

Hill and my tree in the apartment.

Mom, one of these little cast iron squirrels is for you.
I'll keep him hostage with me for now.
I'm alive and well...
Hope you and your loved ones are warm,
 filled with love, joy, and peace
and are reminded of the greatest GIFT in days to come.
