The only midnight service I ever enjoyed was the Watch-night service as we ushered in the new year. You're right. That too is no longer an option in S.Africa. <br /><br />Do any others have midnight services at Christmas or New Year?<br />Shirley Corderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429641202607657089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-37427286258487916692015-01-20T07:35:30.694-05:002015-01-20T07:35:30.694-05:00Tres Bien - December 21, 2014 at 5:28 AM

I can't tell you how often people tell me to "keep warm this Christmas!" That is not a problem for me and just shows they don't know I live in the Southern Hemisphere where Christmas Day is usually stifling, and we don't have air Shirley Corderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429641202607657089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-36394572305059005902015-01-20T07:33:08.098-05:002015-01-20T07:33:08.098-05:00Carolyn Howard-Johnson - December 20, 2014 at 11:4...Carolyn Howard-Johnson - December 20, 2014 at 11:46 PM<br /><br />One of these days I'll travel at Christmas and get to use this!

We concluded that this was because often the person we knew was the only believer in their family, so the church was the center of their celebration.<br /><br />As to food, for immigrants Shirley Corderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429641202607657089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6411231637771693377.post-12296415681944731872015-01-20T07:26:25.590-05:002015-01-20T07:26:25.590-05:00Thanks so much for this, Karen.

The commercial side of Christmas has definitely reached Cambodia with Santa Suits, Christmas Trees, Tinsel, and Christmas Cards and wrapping paper now available.
