Christmas In Vietnam








Christmas Eve I went out for dinner with my new friends, John, Hien, Nhan, Ha, Hanh and Huyen. We ordered chicken (almost turkey) and rice (almost mashed potatoes and gravy) in a local restaurant with a Christmas tree.


Afterwards we went to the local Catholic Church for the Christmas Eve service. Nhan and I had dropped by earlier in the afternoon to check out the place. It had a cave with a creche, and several Christmas trees. It looked even better that night in the dark with all the lights.
My wonderful new friends gave me gifts to open tomorrow. I am so lucky to have found such wonderful people over here. It makes this Christmas a very special one. I wish all my friends and family in Canada a Happy Christmas and a Joyous New Year.
