Christmas in Daejeon

This year was our first Christmas in about 10 years that we didn't have the whole family all together. Thankfully, Alana and John joined us, along with 100 missionaries that we divided into two zones for parties, so we weren't lonely, but it was certainly a different Christmas! It is kind of refreshing that the commercial glitz of Christmas is not evident here. It was easier to focus on the real meaning of Christmas and to celebrate the birth of the Savior in a more gentle and relaxing environment.
