Christmas in Dhaka

I do like Christmas on the whole.... In its clumsy way, it does approach Peace and Goodwill. But it is clumsier every year. ~E.M. Forster

Well today is Christmas Day here in Dhaka. Merry Christmas to all our loved ones that are celebrating today. While we aren't Christians, we do celebrate the commercial/cultural holiday of Christmas, and this morning was the big payoff (well, for Atticus that is). It was a nice morning with all the usual adorableness of Atticus waking up before dawn, Jon and Sam stumbling into the living room to watch Atticus open presents, and then Jon setting to work building the latest enormous Lego gift. This year is a 990+ piece Lego Aircraft Carrier (actually it is a lego knock-off, but close enough!). Atticus was super excited that Santa left him little rubber tik-tiki lizards on the gifts, and he was more than pleased with the big loot he raked in. After gifts we made some calls home with Princess Leia and relaxed. Actually, Sam relaxed - Jon is still working on the aircraft carrier.
We hope you all have wonderful holidays and send our love your way! Here are some pic's from our day and the annual family picture you all would have gotten in your Christmas cards this year if we had sent them.
