Merry Christmas from Belize!

Christmas Day itself was for the most part a flop. We decided to head out toward Chetumal, MX for the day which is a 3 hr drive but ran into car trouble half way there and had to head back home. Thankfully though we were able to make it home! We were also blessed enough to give three Mamas and six children a ride to their daughter's christening party. We did end up being able to enjoy a nice evening with our friends the Inions who invited us over for hot cider, fellowship and a hymn sing. That definitely ended the day on a blessed note ♥



We loved this shot with the Evergreen tree with the palm in the foreground

This man was carrying a Christmas treeand other holiday decorations into their church. It was probably 90 degrees the day this photo was taken! For us Washintonians this was a funny scene!






Nothing like a fun night of Christmas shopping with your friendly neighborhood armed guard watching over you and your fellow shoppers~ kinda kills the ambiance of the Holiday Season

This float was being decorated for a Christmas Parade. There isn't much commercialism in regard to the Christmas Season.. you don't see a lot of ads for toys, credit card debt.. etc but definitely Christmas is a BIG deal here in Belize.. we saw all sorts of parades, carolling, and many other festivities.

This 'Santa' heads into Mega Foods for some last minute shopping

Pointsettas grow prolifically around here. Some plants are 8 feet high!
