Luka the Christmas elf

Getting into the festive mood.

As a member of the Dili choir I went to sing some Christmas Carols at the newly opened Timor Plaza shopping center here in Dili.  Luka came along with his nanny Michelle and loved every minute of the music, often squealing in delight.

I have felt terribly guilty for not being more 'Christmassy' this year, no tree, no gifts under the tree, and no real Christmas spirit here except for the growing number of nativity scenes appearing in all the Dili neighborhoods (scenes in which Santa more often than not appear right next to the three wise men).

Anyway, with my Yule Tide, Silent Night and Rudolf - it was good to feel a little merry this afternoon.
