On Frangos and Study Circles on the Eve of Christmas: Christians in Bethlehem and Baha'is in Haifa
Just four days before Christmas, this is Renee, seller of Frango mint chocolates at Macy's, at study circle right after getting off an extra-long day's work.

So glad to have Deb as tutor and Laurie as support at our Wednesday combined Ruhi 1 Baha'i study circle.

Thursday was Christmas Party Two where I work. Not having participated in the Secret Santa gift exchange, and having truned down the opportunity at last minute to DJ for the party, I found meaningful work to do taking pictures instead.

And then there is this, Brynne Annaë's delightful "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" post up on her blog this evening about her non-traditional gathering tomorrow.

We are currently in Israel on a 9-day pilgrimage to the Baha'i Holy Places visiting the final resting place of Baha'u'llah and the places associated with His exile, imprisonment and life here in the late 1800s at the end of the Ottoman Empire. Our visit has been an intensely spiritual and sacred experience as well as a little taste of paradise. The Baha'i gardens and holy places are exquisite in their beauty and refinement. We have had lots of time for refreshing personal reflection and prayer. A wonderful way to prepare for the New Year and the rest of our lives!
