  • Merry Christmas!

    Here's a taste of what a Christmas Carol sounds like in my neck of the woods:

    The brand-new Greek Orthodox Church in Jebel Ali was inaugurated last night, with the Christmas Liturgy at sunset. It was fantastic to hear the church bells ring out over the desert sand while the choir was chanting inside the church and the last rays of sunlight caught the beautiful icons at the front of the church.

    Thankfully, both Christmas Day and Boxing Day fall on the weekend here in the UAE this year, so I'm off to Abu Dhabi shortly to celebrate Christmas with some friends there.

  • MERRY CHRISTMAS.

    I bet it was a great joy to hear the bells, and the sound of the choir must have been magical.
