We celebrated our family Christmas today by pulling out the stove top waffle maker and making gingerbread waffles. Food is one of the few traditions we can continue no matter where we live!
Caroling in America usually takes place before Christmas, but here the festivities kick in after Christmas. Our village has hosted nightly caroling, sometimes groups from multiple villages. They usually begin around 8 p.m. and can continue until around 2 a.m. Sometimes the group carols from house to house, and sometimes they sing in each of the village’s zones. Our village is big enough (around fifty households) that each zone hosts. While the group sings, the listeners bring small gifts up to a table. We usually contribute a container of unpopped popcorn. Katherine and Olivia went down to listen tonight to the first group, but came home and went to bed before the second group began.
