It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!!!




For those wondering what it's like during the Christmas season in a Muslim country, you'll be happy to find that the holiday spirit is in the air. I've heard Christmas tunes being played in the stores already, trees and decorations have been easily found, lights are up in the hotels (and the remaining lights from National Day, which are white, green and red, one can at least think they are for Christmas), although I still haven't found Santa yet. I am sure he will make an appearance in the coming weeks.

We set up our tree, an upgrade from our tree in Japan which was half its size, but still leaves room for more growth in the future, to something bigger, one that's fuller and maybe even one that's real :)



We put some local flair using the red and white check men's head scarf (Keffiyeh) as a tree skirt, probably sacrilegious, oh well!
