A Little Christmas Cheer


Christmas at the Souk Madinat Jumeirah, Dubai 2020

Yikes, times fly! It’s Christmas already and I haven't put together a post! Here’s a quick little Christmas post to cheer all up in these hard times of COVID and uncertainty.

God, deliver us from the hardship and uncertainties that the pandemic has caused. Continue to give us hope, o Lord. Provide all those who are in need of help and support, a lifeline to overcome our difficulties. Thank you Lord for your grace and blessings. Amen.

And here’re pictures of Christmas through the last couple of years in Dubai. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

All thanks to the missus. You’re great honey! Hmmm, is that Christmas or Chinese New Year?!? Christmas Wreath, with Chinese Spring Couplets??
