On the Fourth Day of Christmas...

...another blog post was finally published :)

We have very much been missing family and friends recently however we're so happy that some family, John and Annie and baby Betsy, just arrived yesterday (on the third day of Christmas) to visit us here in Sweden! We're excited to celebrate New Years with them but below are some pictures from how we celebrated the first day of Christmas in Salzburg, Austria. We'll try and post more about this trip (as well as our trip to Gothenburg and the rest of our Budapest trip) soon.







One quick note: we ended up watching "The Nativity Story" (the one released in 2006) on Christmas Eve. It was a good movie and the most interesting aspect was how it addressed the social situation that Mary and Joseph might have endured from the Annunciation to the birth of Jesus. It brought a new depth to the words you read and hear but sometimes find hard to imagine in terms of what the experience might have actually been like. We appreciated that, and the movie in general, as it helped focus some of our thoughts and prayers over the holiday.

We love and miss all of you. Merry Christmas and keep celebrating because there are still 8 days left!
