Christmas this year was definitely different from what I am used to. It was my first Christmas away from my Mom and brother so that was sad, but I was happy that my Dad was here. My Mom sent decorations for me to put in my house and I invested in a small Christmas tree to help me get in the holiday spirit. Christmas has always been one of my favorite holidays because it is a time to spend with family/ friends and eat delicious food. Unfortunately this year was missing snow and although we ate a good meal in town, it could not compare to my Aunt Joan's house and the AMAZING home-cooked food I over indulge in. This year was also missing chocolate cake (for those of you who do not know I have an obsession with chocolate) from two of my favorite bakers. But apart from missing food, family, and snow it was a great holiday.

My Dad and I spent Christmas in Mbeya. We started off by going to church and having a late lunch with my Tanzanian friend Peter. Then we came back to my village and relaxed. We had a great conversation as Christmas music played in the background.
