It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!

What an experience to live in a different culture and see their traditions for the holidays! I love all the similaries that we have - but I have to say that I am dying for cold weather! It just doesn't feel right to see Christmas lights, music, fake trees (because it is illegal to cut down and sell a pine tree in Honduras, as it is the National tree of Honduras).. to experiece Christmas programs and cantatas... but to be in 80 degree weather, wearing tanktops and running the air conditioning!

oh well - I don't know that I will be doing much more that dreaming of a WHITE Christmas.. but at least I have the movie here with me to remind me of home. :) I know that this Christmas season is full of new experieces - and opportunities to share the reason we celebrate with so many!

This picture was taken in church yesterday, just after the cantata. Tamy, me, Hannah, Erin, and Cesia are posing in front of our church's beautiful Christmas tree. They are all dressed alike because they are in the choir. ;)

Today we had a fabulous Christmas program at Brassavola! The kids were so excited to perform their songs and poems in English (to parents who speak Spanish, ha!). It was a crazy night - but overall successfull and definitely full of memories!
