One would think that we dropped off the face of the earth after the Thanksgiving holidays, however we did not. We went on to the festivities involved in getting ready for the Christmas holidays. We busied ourselves with preparing a letter to all of our friends and families (at least all those that we could locate addresses for, either snail mail or e-mail). If you did not get a letter, please accept our apology and get us your address as soon as possible (the best way is to send us a Christmas card so we get the hint, OK).
I just could not have a proper Christmas without a tree, so we went to Walmart and bought a little fake one and the trimmings to put on it. We never even considered bringing our decorations with us on this mission. One thing to think about when considering leaving your home for more than a year, I would guess.
This is a picture we took of our window in the front of our apartment, we bought a cling vinyl manger scene and lights to give the window a festive mood. It looked very nice at night all lit up, and made us feel like it was more with the reason for the season.
One evening we drove through the park and took pictures of the Christmas lights and the different displays, it was really neat all the work that different groups put in to make a nice tour for everyone to enjoy. The video we took was impossible to download, so you will not see it at this time, sorry.
On the 13th of December we sang in the Lawton Community Choir at a performance at the McMahon Center, we sang excerpts from "The Messiah". We had a wonderful time rehearsing and preparing for the hour and a half presentation.
