Merry Christmas everyone!

In north Pentecost we sing out 'Christmas Tavuha' which translates, I believe, to Christmas comes.

We have spent the last few days with two other Peace Corps volunteers from the central part of our island. A married couple just a hair younger than ourselves. They came up here to spend the holiday season with us. We have been preparing fancy meals and storying-on. It's been good.

We spent Christmas day with our Peace Corps friends and my host father's family. They made up a fancy meal with rice and beef and chicken and pineapple and watermelon. We brought a pumpkin pie and a loaf of pumpkin bread to share. We were given baskets and a chief's walking stick. Very sweet.

They just brought the food in, so it's time to eat. love you guys, miss you guys and thinking of you this holiday season.
