Tis the Season

Dear family and friends,

Tis the season to go Christmas Caroling. Since I returned from my mid-service conference and vacation, I’ve had three people ask when we can go caroling. I guess that was a memorable event for them last year. I am glad as this was one of my most fun cross-cultural activities. The volunteer who lives nearest to me is going to visit today and we plan to have a mini Christmas celebration early as she’s going to a conference and then will be traveling on vacation over the holidays. It’s always nicer to do Christmas decorating with others. I am just hoping my neighbor is successful in fixing my outlet so I can have Christmas lights on the tree.

I just returned from my Thanksgiving vacation to Majunga (in the NW) part of Madagascar. It is a nice town, known for its mangoes. So, I didn’t end up eating turkey for Thanksgiving but I enjoyed a nice meal of Indian food. Can’t say I missed the mayhem of Black Friday. Instead of shoving past a crowd of anxious shoppers and waiting in long lines to save a few dollars; I sat on the beach eating mangoes. Best day after Thanksgiving ever!

Happy Holidays,
Teena
