Christmas

December 25

Christmas day was quiet for us.  We decided to take the morning and reflect on the birth of our Savior, and so we read from the scriptures about his birth and about his atonement.  It was a special time.


For our dinner, we tried to make some Jordanian food.  Lynn peeled a palmetto and we seeded some pomegranates to make a salad.  We got red juice all over the kitchen, but the salad tasted pretty good. We decided that we'll need more practice.

The tradition here is for families to visit each other on Christmas.  It's a nice day for eating and enjoying the company of the ones they love.  In our family were able to visit with Kristen, Kevin and Jill via Skype and Face Time.
