It's
80 degrees and there are no malls to shop in, but we lit our second advent
candle on Sunday, our tree (artificial) is up and the kids are listening to
Christmas Carols and wondering if Santa will find them in Bamenda. We are busy
with Christmas craft, but not caught up in the Christmas rush. Feels nice.
I
attended a Christmas Party at St Josephs School which had the same chaotic, but
adorable flavor of Christmas Programs in the US. All the songs were in English and most of the
ones we sing. They even sang Santa Claus
is coming to town - though they celebrate Father Christmas from the German
influence. I was touched by the hundreds
of children that came up to hug me. They are all so dear.
The
kids finish school on Friday with a program of their own. Pete will work all next week, but then have
two weeks off. We hope to travel right
after Christmas.
I
got my Christmas present early. The new
bedroom is finished and it is so nice to have our own space. We put a large
table in there so he has a place to work when the kids are home. We have been
very blessed.
This
may be my last blog of 2012, so Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Thanks for your love and support!!!!
