Being my second Christmas here in Uganda...I have to say...Its nice...
The weather is not that much different than SoCal, with the exception that it may be a little bit warmer...
The biggest difference I see between a SoCal Christmas and a Ugandan one is mostly in the consumerism...
Its so nice to not have the hustle and bustle of Mall traffic, crazy shoppers and Christmas sales...
Life is calmer here at New Hope right now as most of our kids have gone to visit family members and staff have gone to the states to have their "white Christmas'" with their families.
There are a few Christmas trees here and there, and a few stores playing Christian music...but that's about it.
I am looking forward to having a calm day, a nice meal with friends and playing a few games...
A great holiday season to rest, relax and mediate on Jesus...the reason for the season in the first place.
I hope that this season, you find rest and relaxation as well!
Enjoy!
