Christmas

hey so i know that this is totally late, but here is the scoop on how christmas went down over here. well it started a few days before the 25th. many people came to the church, and we handed out soap, salt, sugar, and corn to the people who came. it is kinda interesting that the things we handed out were more of necessities rather than "luxuries". then everyone was very busy on christmas eve preparing for the christmas meal. i helped peel matoke (bananas) and irish (potatoes). but my favorite part of preparing was slaughtering the chickens. i killed 3 of them (and filmed it to put on my facebook) and i helped "de-feather" them. then on christmas we went to the service and afterwards, about 50 people came to the house (mainly kids from the school). it was very cool. there was plenty to eat, and everyone was stuffed. there was no tree, presents, decorations, but there were friends and family. it was a cool experience
