Wow....Christmas in Jamaica!! It's way different than the Christmas one year ago. We had snow last year and 80 degree weather this year...but we are right where God wants us to be. We celebrated Christmas with the students and staff here at CCCD before everyone went home for the Holiday's.
We were blessed to have Jeffrey's mom(Nonnie) come here for 9 days in December. She even brought snow for the kids, obviously it was fake but, nonetheless, it was SNOW!!!!
We had a mini Christmas while she was here and we had Jeffrey's dad(Poppy) Skype in so he could watch the children open their gifts. We were able to send bicycles for our children for Christmas and Nonnie and Poppy also sent Christmas gifts ahead of time via our container that was shipped back in November. Way to plan ahead Nonnie and Poppy!!!! Christmas was a little different without having our loved ones near but we still tried to implement some of our family traditions where we could. We attended "Evensong" from Christ Chapel via live streaming, we had pig in the blankets, kids wore their Christmas pj's and had a big Christmas dinner. For Christmas day we invited the staff from CCCD to come over for dinner. It was great!!! Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year too!!!!!
