Christmas Slippers


We had a good Christmas season. We brought our Christmas stockings, nativity set, and advent wreath. I'm glad we did. It really helped to make it feel more like Christmas in a country that doesn't celebrate Christmas, other than selling a few "Christmasey" items in the store. I also had a chance to attend a few different Christmas celebrations where Moroccan women were invited and got to join in on the celebration. One of them especially was a wonderful chance to bless some beautiful women who don't usually get to just sit and relax and have some special treats and special time with other women.
The three of us each got a pair of Moroccan slippers in our stocking. I love the colors and the way they look, although mine and Oliver's smell like cow manure. So that's not so pleasant. Hopefully the smell will fade...

Slippers are great and all, but where are the pictures of you guys? Give someone a camera and say "hi, can you take a picture of us?" I miss you guys, and forget what you look like. More pictures. And I too will try to post more pictures on our blog. Hope you are doing well!

Hey. TC here. I left a message on an earlier post, but I think it did not show my homepage and name - only that I was named Thomas. Weird. Nobody calls me that. Anyway. What is your current email address, friend? Id like to keep in better touch than I have so far. Hope this finds you all well. High of 17 today- ughh...
