| A Bahamian Nativity Scene |
Christmas in the Bahamas feels different to us this year. While our kids send us pictures of Christmas trees and gently falling snow, we are experiencing 80 degree weather (coupled with 80% humidity),

waters. To make it feel more like Christmas Peggy decorated "Little Lara" with a handmade wreath adding sea shells and pine cones for ornaments, then strung battery operated lights around the cabin. In the Bahamas we founds some Christmas decorations around the homes and stores, but not like back at home. And, though we miss the excitement generated by grandchildren shaking presents in anticipation of Christmas Day, we do not miss the commercialization so often associated with Christmas in the States. Another plus of being in the Bahamas for Christmas this year is socializing with other cruisers and meeting the many friendly Bahamians. We admit it does not feel like Christmas without family and friends during this Holiday Season! So, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year where ever you are. We love you and miss you all.

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas from Arizona. We love the stories of your adventures and pray for your safety. We loved our Christmas with family and our traditions. Church was so spiritual with the songs of Jesus. It was indeed a wonderful celebration of Jesus Christs birth.
