23 Dec - Compound Christmas Holidays

Being the season to be jolly resulted us in hosting some friends over for Christmas Carols in the compound. The 'Pohnpei Google Group' was sent out an invite and they turned up in good numbers noting that a lot of people are off island for the Christmas break.

This year we stepped into the 21st century and did away with cutting trees down for the words and used fossil fuels instead to power the projector and laptop.

A little bit of work over the previous couple of nights saw the music loaded onto the IPOD and the words typed into a 'Word Doc'. Seemed to go okay.

Tanya loved the night and belted out the tunes.

We gave the kids little torches instead of candles - Good idea Mummy.

They can be cute and loving sometimes..... Santa might be watching.

We recently purchased some torches for the compound and they helped set the scene quite nicely.

A small but quite vocal group.

Not a bad family photo. It took about ten photos to get a good one though. Children and animals......

After the carols we packed everything up and headed up to our house for a few snacks and beverages. A great end to another great night on Pohnpei.
