Thanksgiving@Base Camp saw warm fellowship under a lovely white tent in heavy downpour. That was on Christmas Night. It was money well spent as the 30 odd guests huddled closer together to keep out of the rain and for warmth.The food from Kriston was sumptuous and well laid out. The early birds indeed caught some worms in the tit bits that were offered. Then the real thing started with a little prayer of thanksgiving. Then it was the charge of the hungry brigade!
It was a night without any planned entertainment (unlike previous parties at Base Camp) so guests entertained themselves. There was much chatter and laughter. Many stayed on because of the rain. The rain did add some atmosphere to the whole event.
It was a lovely night of celebration of our Saviour's birth. It was a night of giving thanks to God for being able to celebrate, to enjoy and to have warm fellowship with family and friends.
