I must admit that it is a little difficult to prepare our minds for Christmas in 80-degree weather and little sign of Christmas decorations around (although we do have a small tree!) However, I can tell this Christmas will be special, because we are much more focused on the true meaning of Christmas and celebrating the birth of our precious Savior, Jesus Christ! We were even able to see “The Nativity” in the movie theatre here to prepare our hearts for Christmas.
Ugandans don’t celebrate Christmas like we do in America, which actually is not all bad. There are no houses decorated with lights, families really don’t worry about getting each other tons of gifts but they do love to be with their family. Most Uganda’s will celebrate Christmas by having a huge meal together that can last even for a couple days. Here are some fun pictures for you to get an idea of what Christmas in Uganda looks like, including the Christmas traiffice.

Merry Christmas! We missed you all. We had a good day, but it was VERY busy. I bet it is nice to sit back and relax w/ Family like they do there in Africa...we ran all day long! Cameron had a good day, although a bit fussy due to teething (we think). Love you and hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
Miss you guys too and wish we could be with you all. I'm sure Cameron was so cute on Christmas. Hope you and Glenn had great Christmas and try and get some rest. We'll talk to you soon.
Love Erica and John
