but my youngest son is graduating from college in Dec, so making the trip home for that and extending it to include Christmas as well.

Have spent Christmas here in Doha...its nice...just invite some other Christian friends..Muslim too if they like to join in the festivities and friendship that the holiday season provides...make your own fun!!

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the main difference between a dog and man.
