Christmas in the Park has been going on for a few years now at Grace. We decorate the elementary building with lights (I helped with that top row of lights) and put up a stage in the elementary playground area. The neighborhood, etc is invited to join us for an evening of music, food, little message, etc. It is in English and Thai. It is a great outreach in the community. After the program they played a Christmas movie if people wanted to stay and watch one on the big screen:) This year they played the Polar Express and served popcorn.

| Korean fan dance |
 |
| Christmas Carols.... |

| MCs for the evening, Kruu Meow (my Thai teacher) was the Thai MC for the night. She did a great job! |
I think my favorite part was when they sang Silent Night in 7 languages...they took turns singing different sections. The school itself has over 27 nationalities represented, so I guess we could have had even more languages...
 |
| English and Thai (if I remember correctly) |
 |
I believe this was Norwegian and Karen (a hill tribe language)-
this man is our custodian for the elementary building and he often checks out books from the library! |
 |
All the languages: Norwegian, Thai, English, Korean, German, Karen, Burmese (not necessarily in the correct order) |

| Watching the movie.... |
The rest of these pictures were taken during the day so you could see things!
