Today the girls performed in Union Church's Kids Christmas Show (fantastic production) and in the afternoon we went sailing on some friends' Jeanneau sailboat. (We actually never made it out sailing because the engine conked out, but we still had a fabulous afternoon on the boat, walking, talking, eating!)
Between church and not-sailing, we dropped into Cityplaza to buy some groceries and snacks. Every few weeks Cityplaza puts on a display or show. For Christmas we found a huge display of Christmas settings for people to take seasonal pictures. "Of course, how brilliant!" I thought. 99% of Hong Kong homes wouldn't be large enough for a truly traditional setting, conducive to festive pictures. In lieu, a whole variety of festive living rooms can be found at Cityplaza until January 2nd. We stopped to take pictures of Sebastian and the Terrific Trio. One of the best shots turned up on my Blackberry. What do you think? (A few other samples to follow shortly.)

Please tell Tess we miss her blog posts! Thanks for yours.
I called Mandy over to look at this lovely photo in case she had taught your children in Sunday School but her pupils were younger. Seeing your kids’ hair and reading about the shopping mall reminded us of times when we took our grandaughter to Pacific Place. Loads of Hong Kongers wanted to take her photo. Your reference to how folks there have to share public displays reminds me of the roundabout in the middle of Connaught Road. Next time you’re on the walkway above look down & you’ll see a cute ‘English’ Garden complete with a winding footpath that no one ever walks on. It’s all for show as the 99% you mentioned don’t have their own back garden – yard to you, I guess. It makes me appreciate ours in the snow right now here in England. How’s Men’s Eternity doing? I jokingly called it that because the course was so long – but great. Best wishes to all at Union. P.S. Mandy hopes to be over in March for the birth of our 2nd grandchild in Tun Muen.
Your picture proves my point that I have wonderful grandchildren!!!
Love to all….GDad Blake
I’m a single mom of 2 and I find your site very interesting. Let me take a tour on your other post. I hope I have much time each day to drop by and check your site for recent post.
I think they are, of course, the most perfect four neices and nephews that any aunt could ever want and wish they were close enough I could give them, and the two of you, a huge hug. We miss you (all) again. Thank you to your wonderful family for their Christmas gift to us of you visit. Love to all, Auntie Carolyn
