christmas weekend

this year christmas fell on a sunday. so the restaurant closed over the weekend. probably the first time and will not happen for awhile. the 24th i went to a friend's parent's home. we had peking duck. it was so delicious. then i headed to holy trinity for the christmas eve service. there were many ppl. it was nice to hear the choir as well to sing christmas songs. then on christmas day, i slept in because the eve service served me well. so in the afternoon i went to the japanese church. i was disappointed with the service as well at tea time. it was a semi organized service. with no warning of the fact there were many songs that was to be sung. i left before the message. i thought of the past of dual translation message. at tea time i felt that it was a group of people congregating amongs themselves. i spent a nice evening at my friend's home. we had a wonderful dinner. and i enjoyed talking with some of the people. it was good that i came, there i met someone new.
monday was half a day off for me. so i went to dimsum with two friends. i ate lots and looking back i ate lots over the weekend. overall this christmas time was better than ones in the past. i'm not sure where i might be, but i will try to remember Jesus for He is the reason for the celebration.
