And so this is Christmas...

Christmas was a magical time in infancy which for us got even better as life and Christian ministry went on. Christmas for us today focuses on church, reaching out to the poor and doing this with family and friends.

Today has been a Christmas hamper & toys distribution day and tomorrow will be too prior to going to church in the evening for the big Christmas celebration, play and distribution of presents to all the Sunday School kids. Everything in Brazilian culture focuses on the eve of whatever day it is - so Christmas Eve is the big thing - and after church all the family will come back to our house for Christmas supper. Here are some photos of today's distribution:
