Christmas in the Arse of the World

Today was a full working day complete with food transports, patrols, reports, orders, plans, incidents and maintenance. After a quick visit to the sauna we sat down to Christmas dinner. Each nationality performed a christmas carol in their own language, and I read the Christmas Story from the gospel of Luke. The CO's of both contingent's called and wished us well. Later in the evening some guys played poker, other just sat and talked. Most were tired and went to bed early.


Traditional Finnish christmas dinner. The ham is not halal, guaranteed.

Isaf got a visitor for Christmas. She got along really well him, so the dog with one lame hind leg could even be Isaf's father, for all we know. It was not afraid of people, which is unusual of the local stray dogs.


Isaf wanted to play, but the visitor was not at all willing to join in.


His left hind leg never touched the ground.
