Christmas

Christmas in Guatemala is actually celebrated on the evening of Dec 24th -- usually with a lot of fireworks. Everyone sets off fireworks in the evening and especially at midnight -- then they open presents and have a meal!!!

For most of the Striders, they celebrated in Guatemalan style with their host families and then came to my house to celebrate in British style on the 25th
Turkey and stuffing, Roast potatoes, brussels sprouts (but no parsnips! boo hoo!) -- and Crackers -thanks to my sister, Jen!!
