The holiday seaon begins

Holiday Season in Arusha

The holiday season is starting, I'm so excited! Of course, the holiday season looks a little different here in Tanzania.


Last weekend, I took the kids to a Christmas fair. There were booths selling things, and BBQ burgers and chicken for sale.. see the picture above of the kids there. (Isn't Jonathan's smile so adorable?)
I've already started my Christmas shopping, mostly online. I want to make sure my gifts arrive in time for Christmas.
This year we are blessed to have Bill's parents with us for Christmas, very exciting!

Thanksgiving is this week, and we are having 28 people over for dinner! Only 2 of those guests are Americans! We will be eating Indian and Chinese dishes along with the traditional turkey and stuffing. Very funny, but it will be a great time of sharing, food and laughter, even if it looks different than Thanksgiving dinners in America.
The holidays here are very different, but so fun as well!
