Merry Christmas, babygirl

Today, January 7th, is when Christmas is celebrated in Lina's country.  I have a heavy heart as this is the season to gather with friends and family to celebrate Christ's birth, yet Lina doesn't have anyone special in her life to celebrate with.  I wonder if they celebrate in the orphanage?  Do they have decorations?  Do they tell Christmas stories of Grandfather Frost?  Do they get to enjoy any special foods?  Holidays are for family.  Plain and simple.  Here's praying this is the last holiday to pass Lina by without a family.  I love you, little girl.
