Christmas in the Congo



We celebrated Christmas at our house on December 23 with an open house. We had about 80 guests to come to join us, and for our entertainment we had the choir from the International Evangelical English Fellowship, created "to help English speaking people to worship God in English in a French speaking country". They sang beautifully and brought speakers, equipment and used the grand piano here at hour house.

Here are some pictures I took at the supermarket of Christmas goodies for sale...many people are scrambling to make ends meet, but some are able to buy the nice things as shown here. I took these pictures in the Casino Supermarket, the most upscale store in town. Most things are available, for lots and lots of money.

I am not surprised to see that Santa Claus makes it to Brazzaville. It looks like the Easthams had a wonderful holiday! Carolyn, what food did you serve at your holiday party? Did you put Mark and Michael to work chopping vegetables and serving drinks?

Ho Ho Ho - happy holidays! It is 5 degrees here in Denver, and tons of snow in the mountains. Consider a trip to Colorado when you return to the States, boys!
