12/24/2002 Entry: "Happy Christmas (What else?)"
Busy day today. There's the domestic preparations of course. Unlike most Britons we won't be sitting down to turkey tomorrow (on account of being vegetarian), but there is still the special pine nut roast to get ready. Most other chores are done, I just need to find a few moments to wrap one or two presents.At 4:30 this afternoon I have a service for children, followed by a "bring and share" tea. Although it is very much aimed at young children, the sevice seems to be popular with those of more mature years. We'll be celebrating a communion service at 11:30 tonight - this is my favourite service of the year.
So I hope you find joy and peace this Christmas. Whatever struggles you face in the future, may the light of the presence of Christ be always with you.
Happy Christmas!

Our first 11:00 Christmas Eve Service since I've been here went well - it was a very wonderful way to celebrate the birth of our Savior. I hope you and your family and the Sketty and University Chapel Families have a very wonderful Christmas. Ivan
