We get to enjoy Christmas with our daughters who are studying in the states. We are so anxious to be with family. No presents (money is short). No parties (partied out). No food ... (well we are not going to fast). Just fireplace, family, and friends. We hope you enjoy a special Christmas and God's love truly warms your heart. As riots and unrest continue in Greece, may peace reign on earth.
