Though we've only been married now for two Christmases, Katie and I haven't spent Christmas in the same spot yet... nor will we for another year or so. Last Christmas we were still on our honeymoon in Costa Rica and spent it on the edge of the Costa Rica jungle. This year we celebrated in Paris, France. Next year, we'll be celebrating on the fringe of the Sahara Desert in Niamey, Niger. Quite a lot of change, but it's been good.
Heidi, Katie's youngest sister, came and celebrated Christmas with us. We all have been exploring Paris and gazing at the beautiful lights all over downtown. On Christmas Eve the three of us took some fruit and candy to a group of Romanian gypsies living behind the park here in Massy. I was amazed to see over 40 different dwellings all tucked away in the field behind the park. Though many of them were away, we were blessed to talk with them, hand out gifts, and even pray for some that were sick.
On Christmas day we went to dinner with two other couples who stayed here over break. It was a nice time to share and get together with family, even though they weren't our own.
