While much of North America struggled through blizzards and very cold temps this holiday season, we were certainly not cold, sweating during the day with temps in the mid 20's Celcius (70's F.). As was expected, things were not bad, but definitely different this year, and Christmas traditions were the same and yet very much NOT the same:
Christmas decorations were put up with one member of our family missing for the first time (Christy), and with sweat dripping off my face.
Warm Snow…
Add 1 Tbsp of
powder
to a quart of water,
and stir,
and stir,
and…
it’s amazing!
Christmas stockings… well, stockings got stuck in Kumba, so gift bags had to do for this year J
Christmas presents… since the road made shopping very difficult, we made do with what we found when we unpacked, and what we could buy in the nearby market town;
Laura and Kenneth’s rooms now have new curtains (instead of old ones that are moldy and falling apart).
Jesus’ Birthday Cake…
seems to work out well no matter where we are – yay!
And Christmas cookies… I finally found a great recipe – so good that we didn’t even put icing on
them!
