One of the highlights of Christmas is always decorating the tree. This year we did it in November so my parents, well mum mostly, could be here to do it with the girls. It has always been a family affair in our house - mum still has us back, and now grandchildren to decorate her tree. This year was simple with our humble, donated tree which had been given to a friend who was leaving Doha and then passed on to us when they left. This year was memorable though as some of the children in our compound knocked on our door to see if our girls could play and saw us decorating the tree. They were amazed at even this humble tree and in broken English and Arabic asked many, many questions. Is the story real? Does he leave presents? They were also excited and proud to share the small pieces of the story they had picked up from television.
