Wednesday 25 December

Merry Christmas to us! (It takes much longer to arrive in the Northern Hemisphere!) Jesus is born! ... and outside it’s gone up to -14º (with wind chill -19º) after a low of -17º.

We went to a Reformed church for their Christmas Day service – lovely carols; a very full church, maybe 1500 people? Watching the snow falling gently outside ... it was a church full of Dutch people.

We had presents when we got home: a stocking each for Steve, Dianne, Graham and me. Graham got a Dutch chocolate letter and the cutest snowman stuffed toy; I got a Dutch chocolate letter and another snowman toy. Graham and I got a Canadian calendar as well, which has been our tradition for both families over the years. This one is special, with Inuit Eskimo art.


We’re off to Niagara Falls this afternoon to see the lights and the falls in winter.
