christmas @ clans

it is that time of year when clans gather from far and near and we are no different. we came from far, over 2000 miles, as the PaPa and MiMi on the daughter's side, and Oma and Opa will come from 100 miles away on the son's side.

we gather for a variety of reasons, but as it has been said, least we forget, Jesus is the reason for the season, at least as far as this gathering is concerned. we also gather to see our children and our grandchildren and because one daughter will leave for namibia on dec. 30 and the other daughter, husband, and granddaughters will before long leave for burma (myanmar).

others families gather for different reasons and that is fine, as long as we can still gather for mine and that is what makes this country great.
