O Christmas Tree...

As you saw before, we happily decorated our apartment with students. Red and green (and white snowflakes abound)! Yes, stocking is hung by the... err, radiator... with care.

Below is a picture of our first Christmas tree in China (nicely left behind for us by other teachers). Now, under it, are our first Christmas presents, from very dear students. One gift is a small tea set with traditional Chinese tea included. We are assured it will be great! The other is wrapped, so we will see what it is in a few days!
We are so blessed! We have truly enjoyed your messages in the past few weeks: They encourage us so much and we ceertainly feel very loved and supported! Thank you, thanks, thank you very much, dear friends and family :)

If you want to send us a message, click on "comments" below and it will send us a note. We would love to hear from you! If you include your email, we can contact you in return!

Much love from the very cold but not-snowy Far East,
M+A
