Christmas crept up on our kids too. We had been lighting a Christmas candle each day at mealtime that was counting down the days to Christmas and reading a little book every night that was also an ornament for our little tree. Yet, when we were putting out cookies and milk for Santa, Elizabeth (who is almost 7) said, “You mean Santa is coming tonight!” Then our kids who are 7 and younger slept until 6:45 on Christmas morning. Quite amazing!
We had a Christmas Day dinner with some of the other volunteers who are here over the holidays. We did not make tamales which is the traditional food in Guatemala for this time of year. We are going to learn how to make tamales this weekend, so maybe next year...
