Bah.....Humbug

Today was the last orphanage visit before Christmas and so we made snowflakes, played pass the parcel and gave each girl their Christmas presents before we left. They couldn’t wait to open them and even though the presents were simple things like sweets, socks and towels, the really liked them.

Even after doing Christmas lessons, writing cards, playing games and handing out presents, it still doesn’t feel like Christmas yet. Even though they have decorations around the city, I know they don’t celebrate Christmas and so it all feels a bit fake – like celebrating New Year in July or something. I hope the Christmas spirit kicks in soon….
