Ho Ho Ho

'Tis the season.... to remember that Jesus is the reason for it.
Or so I should write as a pastor. The reality is that a lot of people don't think about Jesus, but rather food, presents, decorations, and travel--on that note, if in London add this thought: will I catch my flight before Xmas is over?
Christmas posed that challenge every year (not the foggy one). And it seems that Bermuda is not too far from its 'motherland'. Only, it's a lot smaller. So most things here are on a smaller scale. Except for the Christmas decorations. Some are beautiful, others make you wish Easter came a lot faster.
Today I went to "town"--that's local lingo for the city of Hamilton--and the crowds and the traffic reminded me a bit of being back in England. Only the warm sunshine told of a different location. Yes the sun is still shining.

And the bus pass is still purple.

BUT... on Tuesday I met a church member at the airport. She's gone away for the holidays, and she wanted me to look after her car... :-D
So for a few blissful days, we've got a car. And it's a comfortable 4x4. I consider it a Christmas present.

Merry Christmas!
