A Ukrainian/Canadian Christmas Celebration

current events, photography, , , 8 Comments

More than 150 people gathered yesterday in our local Presbyterian Church to celebrate Ukrainian Christmas. I am too tired to say much more than I am warmed to my core and so grateful for all these people, who have come into our lives since our decision to host a Ukrainian family. The photos capture it best, I think:

Top row: hosts and guests mingle; our appointed elf (my beloved Sofiia); one of three new Canadians with her mom and me. Bottom row: Snowmen decorations made by a sorority group for the occasion; me with our new teens; Kitchen helpers. Featured post is another new baby.

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential.
