Christmas Eve I went to Mass at a church in Patan. No, it wasn't like Mass at home, but there was music, a nativity scene, and the familiar rituals. There were Nepali touches as well - shoes left outside, floor seating, and power outages.
The gifts I sent home 3 weeks ago didn't make it in time for Christmas (stupid pouch trolls!), but the gifts from my parents arrived here a few days ago. Thanks to Skype, I spent Christmas morning (Christmas Eve back home) opening gifts with my family.
Merry Christmas!

With Skype on (our) Christmas Eve and Christmas morning (you stayed for the entire time we opened gifts and we take at least 2 hours!) we felt like we were with you at least a little. Love, Mom
