Though
Christmas in Ukarumpa certainly has its differences, it is not quite
as different as you might expect. Here are a few things we have done (and some improvisations we have made):
-
Using my warm socks (not needed as much right now because it’s summertime!) for stockings
-
Baking Christmas cookies together—Eric had to roll the dough because I fractured my pinky playing goalie at the fifth grade Christmas party
-
Using a flashlight to see the cookie dough because the electricity went out periodically during the process
-
Realizing after it was too late that I only had blue food coloring (the store closes at 4)...I decided the theme of my Christmas tree cookies was “I’ll have a blue Christmas without you”
-
Attending a live nativity scene put on by community children, complete with a “live star”
