Christmas this year will be very different for us. December is the hottest month of they year instead of the coldest. The people here do not celebrate Christmas and it is just like any other day of the year. It has given us a great opportunity to share with people why we celebrate. Most of the things that the west associates with Christmas do not exisit here (snow, Christmas trees, presents, Santa, holly, candy canes, christmas carols, cold weather) which serves as a constant reminder to us what it is really about. Below is a picture of my Christmas decorations. Our apartment just has a bedroom and a kitchen, so we decked the halls in the kitchen this year!
In case you are wondering why most of the presents have a K on them, it is because Jordan's sister, Katherine, is coming for the Christmas holidays this year. Jody will get presents too, don't worry! It is just harder to convince him that there are things he wants for Christmas!
