A Very Delhi Christmas

I invite you all to experience my Christmas in Delhi. It was an extremely colorful one filled with laughs and good cheer, boxed up Italian take-out, and new friends here over at the Green Park Hospital.

They decorated, complete, with a life-sized version of Santa Claus, a stellar faux pine dressed to the max, a cow of many colors trotting down the street, tulle of shimmery pink and purple hung from the ceiling, and balloons that just so happened to remind us that Indians can celebrate Christmas as good (if not better) than the rest of us.



It was good to spend Christmas with my friends here in Delhi, although I miss my time at home as well. A few of the patients and us talked well into the night, comparing our past Christmasses and families together. All in all, a very nice job well done for the quite unorthodox holiday in this far-off land.

Hi Ryan and Graham,
Glad all is going well, and holiday wishes to the both of you. We had a great Christmas with 5 day old Jace Patrick Stephens, It is hard to believe it has been 18 years since the Siewert family has had a baby. Lots of Love from Colorado A.Ingrid and Derek
