Christmas Traditions

 

 

    In Tanzania, Christmas is very understated.  No one puts lights up on their house.  Christmas music is not playing in stores.  There are no commercials to buy this or that for loved ones.  No snow. 
    
                                What we do have is our family's traditions. 
We put up our small tree on Dec 1st each year.
  
We have an "Activity Advent" calendar, that each day we do a holiday activity together like bake cookies, or do a craft.  It's a tradition we've kept for many years as a family.

         Here, we have to make our own holiday magic...   how does your family celebrate the season?
