A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all from all of us here in Ratchaburi. With Luna over seven months into her pregnancy we will be taking it very easy this year with the emphasis on rest and relaxation. Our school term ended yesterday and it's very welcome to have about 10 days off. We will probably go to Mass Christmas morning: easier than Midnight Mass with no disruption to his nocturnal routine. We will have a nice meal somewhere, maybe even a trip to Suan Pueng, and then just take it nice and easy.
One of the things I always like to do at Christmas is take in the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols from Kings' College, Cambridge. It is broadcast on BBC Radio World Service which is piped into our home by cable TV so at 22:00h that's what I'll be listening to. I like the sacred and holy side of Christmas and I don't think that it gets more sacred and holy than this.
New Year is the big holiday in Thailand at this time of the year. Christmas Day is business as usual. But the western New Year is probably the second biggest holiday in Thailand after the Thai New Year in April. With the exception of Christian schools there will be no closures. Benedict will be at nursery, which means Luna and Jona will get a bit of a break.
I am not feeling 100% with a heavy cold and feeling a bit run down. However I am hoping a bit of rest will do the trick. So once more Merry Christmas to you and yours.
