Christmas at Graceland

My girl and I were in Newcastle Australia during Christmas time to celebrate Christmas with my BIL, SIL and my two nephews..It was in 2004. Wow, how time flies! It has been eight years since we really first celebrated Christmas.

Well, my brother-in-law took us to a place called Gracelands. It's a big bungalow which was fully decorated for Christmas time. Both my girl and I love it very much. I hope to visit Newcastle again one Christmas time and I would love to visit Graceland again.








Our very first Christmas celebration with my BIL..

Merry Christmas!

    well in the end place and the way of celebartion matters but must not be a priority
    it must never make you forget the true meaning of christmas which is the birth of our savior Jesus

Twin bananas

Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
