Shameless plug for Christmas mail:  please, please, please send us cards.  We probably won't get them until January, but when we do, it will feel like Christmas all over again!  Please send them to HOPAC, c/o Tim Steen, P.O. Box 70027, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

We promise to do this with your cards:

One week from today, things will really get festive with the much-anticipated arrival of Grandma.

Happy Advent!
