Our previous vicar often reminded us that this time of year is still the season of Christmas - so Happy Christmas. In the Holy Land Christmas continues for a couple more weeks, the Orthodox Christmas is next week and the Armenian Christmas in 2 weeks. It's possible to get 'traditional' Christmas trees in Nazareth, but we have improvised with a cactus that was given to us a few weeks ago. A generous lady at church told us that she had a cactus she wanted to give to us. She lives a few miles from us so Jane caught a taxi to collect it. The taxi driver was given a well deserved tip for getting both Jane and the 7' cactus home in one piece. P

What a wonderful idea for a tree and no pine needles for the rest of the year.
