In and around the home front...
My most treasured Christmas decoration:
hand carved Cameroonian Nativity set
in my apartment.

13”
tabletop Christmas tree
(missionary
yard sale bargain) . Christmas decorations are minimal here for most folks
compared to U.S.

Blast from the Past
– figured out a way to hang (stapled to a basket tray, wide tape didn’t hold)
this cheerful smiley face quilt I made for 40 years ago for my mother’s
hospital room during the last two months
of her cancer battle. It reminds me of the beautiful smile in her last photo,
her delightful sense of humor, her enjoyment of life, and her reminders to me
to stop and smell the roses.

Christmas Cookie Exchange was hosted by Sun Young for the ladies of our larger missionary community. What a special time with new friends and we all got to bring home delicious homemade cookies to enjoy over the Christmas season...or over the next few days. My favorite was the Buckeye candy balls...nothing better IMHO than peanut butter and chocolate together. I took my favorite quick Peanut Honey Oat Balls.

At the Educational Resource Center...
The Greenhouse A Learning
Center for Missionary Children, home-schooled children, and village-based
missionary children joined together for two weeks.

During the December 2014 JLS, I did
Christmas literature enrichment sessions with Kdg-Gr. 6, a preschool storytime with craft, processed
books, daily checked in stacks of books and assisted village families with
resources. After a literature enrichment session of Christmas stories,
Kdg-Gr. 2 students welcome Grandma Gracie and check if her glasses are real.

At Christmas Eve Service
I had been looking forward to
attending the annual Christmas Eve missionary singles party. However, I felt
God strongly nudging me to share a shortened version of my “Joy Is A Choice” testimony (http://kaywattsafrica.blogspot.com/p/joy-is-choice.html) during the Christmas Eve service at Grace Baptist
Church.
This service was a
blessing to me where Cameroonian friends celebrated the birth of our Lord by
dancing and singing praises to Him in their mother tongue and the children
made several presentations.
