1st American Christmas - 1!

Christmas Eve Mass - Last night all of us attended a late (10PM) Christmas eve services @ Mary's Catholic church. The services were filled with Christmas carols sung by congregation and "backed-up" by the church choir and organ. Lyrics to all carols were provided to attendees. Even Vinh sang aloud AND told the priest that he "could feel the holiness" during the services!

Christmas Day - We all awoke about 8:30AM. Linh prepared a great Vietnamese breakfast = liver pate' on toasted baguette topped with sunny-side up eggs (cooked with fish sauce & in sesame seed oil). <-- my favorite Vietnamese breakfast! All enjoyed very much.

After breakfast - Santa Clause time!
