There are a good number of people in Phnom Penh not associated with a group or with no family around, and Maryknoll invites many of them to Christmas dinner. |
People start gathering around 5:00 PM on Christmas Day and meet old friends and make new ones.

While others chatted, Bob Wynne sliced the ham and Doy Castro and Helene O'Sullivan snitched some for an early taste. |
Everyone brings something for the meal according to a master plan and there were plenty of luscious desserts. |

We had the dinner at the Maryknoll office, and using a covered outside patio area, there was plenty of room. |
Finally it was time to eat. The food was mostly American-style dishes but there were a few regional additions. |

Even while some of the group were going back for seconds, the dish-washing crew got going back in the kitchen. |
