Christmas in Mexico means "posadas!" Posada translates "inn"...as in the phrase, "...no room in the inn." While the word is long associated with Christmas in this culture, it now means "Christmas party!" So, we have been to a number of posadas this year already--one for the seminary, two for Laurens, one for our discipleship group...and just two more to go!! Ain't it great?!?! ha, ha....
And, of course, the kiddos have had their share of posadas as well. Below, you'll find some pix of the Book Club posada, the church-wide youth posada (a dress-up affair!), and birthday/sub-youth-group posada. Enjoy...

| Lots of eats and sweets! |
 |
| Not your usual Christmas fare...but happily Mexican! |
|
|
And, for the church-wide youth Christmas gathering, everyone dressed in their finery!
 |
| Wow!! Boy's growing on up! (Yes, that's a mohawk!) |
 |
| Soooo good to have the Jesse back home for Christmas! |
 |
| Good looking kiddos! |
|
And, finally, a gathering of church youth at our apartment...
So, there you have a little "taste" of the festivities of Christmas and how we celebrate the season here. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas. May it be filled with Joy, Peace and good things.

| And just one more with Meg...the "middle child" who's always left out...! |
