MERRY CHRISTMAS or should I say HAPPY CHRISTMAS. That is what they say here in Ireland. They also eat things like spiced beef and nasty things with blood drippings and stomach lining. We made some eggnog and took it to a neighbours house for them to try because you cannot buy it here. We have found most of the things we eat at Christmas so dinner should be normal in that situation. We will miss family and friends but we will survive. We will miss our traditional Christmas Eve service as we will have our service at 12 noon followed by a pot luck but that will be a nice gathering I'm sure. They don't have Boxing Day here
but they do have St. Stevens day instead. Here are some pics of the newest members of our family. Once again Merry Christmas, remembering the birth of our Lord Jesus.

Gary Denise and Family,
I have to tell you that I LOVE to read your Blog. Everyday, and if honest be honest, sometimes twice a day I check your blog. Along with Ashley and Corey's and Twin girls we know who are serving the Lord in Thailand. God gives me sooo much to pray for that way. So thanks for the work behind your Blog.
Darwin and I want to wish you a Very Merry Christmas or .. Happy Christmas :) We wish for you the blessings that are many that God designed for you beginning on the day of your birth as we Celebrate His Birth. Hugs from Chilliwack, looking forward to the Blogs of 2007
In Christ
Jackie and Darwin Gartner
Merry Christmas Guys! Hope you all have a wonderful season and enjoy each other. And if I were you I'd avoid any food with the word blood in it....yuck!

We'll the stockings are hung and filled...our eyes are tired and we are off to bed. But I thought I would do a quick Blog check to see what is going on in Ireland this Christmas eve...so glad to see you fit in a post.
Darren's mom is coming over in the morning to open gifts - but it all still feels a little wierd not having Darren's dad here too!
I just need to remember the Lord's "promises" and that all will make sense one day!

Hi from this side of the pond!
Jim, Melanie and Madison want to send our Merry Christmas wishes from our family here in Tbilisi, to yours! Jim thinks he's practically Irish now that he's got his passport... so Happy Christmas too! May God richly bless you in your awesome ministry to the Irish - they are blessed to have you. It will be exciting to see what God does in this New Year for you... thanks for keeping us "posted".
Love in Christ, The Harts
