A Christmas Carroll...

---

...This was the comment Ed received from a security guard at Kalibo airport when he noticed the surname on his passport. It finally helped us get into the Christmas vibe. It's pretty hard when it's sunny and you have been lying on the beach for a week! We have now adopted a policy of wishing everyone we meet Merry Christmas and after visiting a mall earlier today, jam packed with frantic shoppers, we can finally say our mood is festive.

We will miss everyone at home, especially the Carrolls and Fordes. Nollaig Shona Duit and we hope to talk to a few of you over the coming days, if the cheap vino (we are stocking up on) renders us able!

Santa must get very hot in South East Asia with his full garb on, perhaps he should try a pair of red speedos.

An angel gets her wings
My sister (Hi And) is a very little kiddie teacher and every year has a battle to explain to the little dawlings that they can only have so many angels in the nativity play and that angels do not carry wands!
