We don’t get Christmas carols on the radio starting with Halloween (we don’t get ANY Christmas carols on the radio!) but we do get some decorations around the city. Today I was at St. Joseph Church in Phnom Penh and found workmen setting up a LARGE artificial tree and a grotto/ manger on the church grounds. I’m glad they do big, bold expressions of our Christian Christmas practice but, hey, it’s not even Advent yet. Couldn’t we wait a couple weeks to set all this up?
