'Tis the season...and what a special season it is! This month has been so full of getting ready for and celebrating Jesus' birthday. Here are some snapshots of Cash Crew Christmas 2015...part 1 of some...
Christmas Cookie Bake
The dough is provided...the cookies are cut and then whisked away to the galley for baking...and then brought back for the icing part. Definitely a delightful way to make Christmas cookies -- it's all the best parts of making cookies - primarily using cookie cutters and icing them - without all of the not so best parts (dirtying dishes, washing dishes, making sure the cookies don't burn). (not to mention you get to go home with dozens and dozens of delicious cookies - for the low, low cost of $2 for a kilo of dough!)
Sinterklaas
A Cash Family favorite....click here to read more about the Dutch tradition of Sinterklaas. The best parts? Every child gets a gift...and the "pepernoten" (a little Dutch gingerbread like treat) that is tossed out to the crowd (imagine candy in a parade). The songs the kids sing are special, too!

 |
| The Barr family...Elle's gift (the orange creature!) was bigger than she is! |
Jingle Bell Dash & Dine
Such a great way to gather and build community (and be healthy!) - running/riding/walking to the port gate with 50+ incredible people...and with jingle bells (and loud singing by one runner)! And then sharing a meal on the dock....always a delight.

Christmas Concert
A delightful evening of music - 4 of the 5 Cashes were a part of the performances! Hopefully the video below will work and you can hear some of the joy that the Elementary Choir shared with us (Miss Katie has talent!).

This is a delightful evening with plenty of craft options for crew of all ages! These are samples from the "ornament painting" station -- which was just one out of about 20 crafts available.
We hope this blog post finds you merry and bright...enjoying ALL of the gifts that God wants to give this Christmas season.
Surely there will be more to come.
You guys out there are performing an enormous job.
