Where is the Christmas tree?

[Caracas Baai, Curaçao]
This is a unique Christmas for me. The first one aboard Logos Hope. For the first time I swam on Christmas day and we had a BBQ for dinner! I have tried to find a Christmas tree to decorate, but it hard to find here. After all, do we celebrate Christmas for the tree? If Christmas is for the folklore and the French Bûche, there would be many reasons to be disappointed.


Yet even if the weather is far from being Christmassy, the joy of the good news that  God reaches out to the world through her son remains a reality that I want to have in my life. And I wish you can have that joy to. This joy is eternal, not my family and friends. This is also why it was special to celebrate Christmas on board, as many of my friends are leaving the Logos Hope next month.
