30 Days of Thanksgiving: November 23--New Christmas Decorations


There are very few material things we miss here in Nicaragua, but as we are entering into the holiday season, one thing we are missing is our decorations.  We are a family that loves holidays and traditions, and as Henry listed off all the things we normally do during Christmastime that we won’t be able to do this year, Andrew and I felt a little ache in our hearts.  We are slowly acquiring some decorations (including the Charlie Brown version of a fake Christmas tree), which we are thankful for because they make life feel a little more normal.  We are also excited to start some new Christmas traditions as a family (swimming on Christmas day?  Decorating a palm tree?).  We are also VERY thankful that while we won’t be travelling home for Christmas, my family will be coming here to celebrate with us.
