"It was our first term in Indonesia. We had just arrived with four kids and had only our suitcases. We decided to make do the best we could. We got a tree but there were no decorations on it. Then our first of 23 barrels arrived from Wewak. It was the one with the Christmas stuff in it."

"Our most interesting Christmas is just about to happen. In two weeks we will fly for 36 hours, then immediately get on a train for 8 hours, then be picked up by a taxi for 5 hour ride to the foothills of the Himalayas."
My Christmas story: we got married on Christmas.

Married on Christmas! Wow.
That IS a good way to get a lot of relatives there.
(Are you sure that wasn't your husband's idea, so he could get out of one gift-giving obligation per year?)
Now you sound like my mother! She said, "You know, you'll never have an anniversary!" And she was sort of right :-) But as my husband says, "I never forget when my anniversary is!"
My dad pulled off the same thing...my parents got married the day before my mom's birthday.
i wanna be a bit sneakier than that...i'm thinking Feb. 14th would be a great wedding date.
