Christmas in Hong Kong

Christmas in Hong Kong reminded me so much of New York with all the lights and decorations. The City went all out and of course the Chinese Red was everywhere. Even Carries table for our Christmas dinner was festooned in shades of red. We did the traditional turkey, dressing and all the other yummies. Somehow she managed to bake it in a countertop over… the wonders of Hong Kong hi-rise living. 

The boys and I even managed Christmas cookies in the small kitchen, however we moved to the dining table to decorate them and then save a few for Santa, with a note to say thanks for the gifts.

We found an Anglican Church with a candle light Christmas Eve service in English, and the carols brought back so many memories of the St. Louis Christmas Carols Festival.

But nothing could ever top the early morning glow of the skyline, with the shouting wake-up call, “Ga-Ga, there REALLY is a Santa and he came to Hong Kong for us. See all the presents!" The magic of childhood and the love that fills our hearts at Christmas is so special. I want to remember the spirit everyday and every year. Thanks for sharing the happy times, the memories will last all my lifetime. And yes, the photos are hanging in my Thailand house.

May you and those you love be blessed every day.
