Another day in the house, not doing very much and trying to feel better. I watched episodes of “How I met your mother” and did some sewing – making a stocking for a friend who lives nearby which we’ll fill with some wee goodies.
One thing I’ve really enjoyed/appreciated in Ghana is how little commercialisation there is of Christmas. Yes, I do miss Christmas lights, and Christmas music in shops or at church so I do wish it was a bit more Christmassy at times. But it is so nice to be somewhere where people actually remember what Christmas is all about, and people spend it with the people they care about. Christians will go to church (in huge numbers) and Muslims will probably be given Christmas food by their neighbours and spend time with their families.
