Christmas in Asia

Christmas in Asia is a little bit different--in good ways and bad.  Asians tend to use all the Christmas trappings to celebrate the new year.  In very over-the-top ways.  On the other hand, it is left to the Christians to celebrate; in intentional ways.  That, I think, is good. Here's some pics of our 9th Christmas in the East! Hotel Lobby in Macau.  Rather tasteful.  Despite Randy wanting to sneak chocolate covered almonds behind the reindeer.  ...wherever you go, there you are... Kowloon in front of the historic Peninsula Hotel.  Rather tame in daylight.  Stay tuned. Kowloon in front of Peninsula by night.  Dazzling (blinding).  Yes, that IS a giant cupid hovering over the photo op! See that cupid now?  Yes? The beautiful, crazy-old tree above the lighted one pales in comparison. Christmas lights on Hong Kong shore seen from the ferry from Kowloon.   Back to some reality in UB.  Whew!   A few cuties from our church fellowship Ama
