Christmas is a little different on the coast of Tanzania. There are no Christmas sales, or Christmas music playing in stores. Most people here do not celebrate Christmas. There are no Christmas trees for sale, no lights up on houses, and certainly no snow!
We definitely have to make our own Christmas spirit around here! We don't mind though. In fact, sometimes the over commercialization of Christmas in America can be overwhelming.

What makes Christmas special this year, is having Katrina home on school break and having Bill's mom, Carolyn, here visiting as well. I am enjoying these times together so much: shopping, cooking and baking, doing crafts and just talking.
