26 December 2006, A Wonderful Christmas.

I woke up Christmas Day and went to work just like any other day. I mentioned that yesterday afternoon, Christmas Eve, it started snowing, by the time I had gone to bed it was around 3-4 inches. It snowed all night and all the next day. Christmas day was peaceful. There is no other way to describe it. Most offices were shut down to give their soldiers some time off, something that doesn't happen very often. The snow is around 8-9 inches now and is very relaxing. I've captured parts of the day with my camera and am eager to share them with you. Let's get started.

Leaving my room and

seeing the snow on the

tree, it's dark out but

the scene was perfect.

Christmas gators decorated and on view outside the DFAC.

Our Chapel on my

way to the guard tower.

I passed by some Mongolian soldiers who were in the festive spirit building a snowman while another one played Christmas tunes on a homemade flute.

The guard duty went well, as the peaceful scene would indicate.

Me on my way back from guard tower duty.

I found these soldiers taking advantage of a day off and enjoying the snow.
