Chritsmas Wishes

OK- well Christmas was great... consider i was in the desert of Afghanistan... actually very cool. Spent it at the Crotation side of the camp...Had a midnight Chritsmas Eve service where I didnt understand anything but the first reading. But the feeling was sublime. I mean the men sang from their hearts and filled up the room and the priest appread passionate with every word they said. To experience another countries traditions was neat and once in a life time experience. Glad to have had the opportunity. Of course I have pictures- and some video- but until I get wifi- for my personal computer- cant uplaod a lick. I got a few gifts and shared them obviously. And I had I gave a hat with a combo patch on woither side- that was half American Flag and half Crotation flag to the guy that invoted us... my shipmate. Anyway- But still good toi have memories to think about...
