More Christmas

I spent the day in Kaslik yesterday. It's just north of town.

I noticed in this neighborhood as in others here in Beirut, Santa finds a way in even where there is no chimney.

Oh, you can get poinsettias at this time of year--they're EVERYWHERE. I liked this shop though, because they have little palm trees too.

Oh, and I haven't forgotten about the REAL trees downtown. They're coming . . .
