Christmas 2009
23 December 2009 Australian and New Zealand sailors, soldiers and airmen and women are welcoming in the festive season with carolling sessions around Dili in East Timor. Spending their Christmas away from family and friends, the service personnel are seeking to not only brighten up their own Christmas but to share joy with the locals. Christmas Eve in East Timor will also involve several Australian and New Zealand personnel joining together at other bases for a carolling session. On Christmas Day, defence force members will have the opportunity to take part in non-denominational church services as well as attend Mass in local East Timorese churches.
