It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
People are getting into the Christmas spirit in Bluefields, Nicaragua.   Christmas stars and Christmas signs are the most popular.

 Some people have trees and/or lights on their homes. Miss Sylvia, where we live, has the most decorated house in Bluefields and workers have been working on it for the past 3 weeks.

Miss Sylvia's house

 Her 2 little granddaughters, Marisela and Londi, who we play with daily, asked Ana to write a letter to Santa Claus for them- in Spanish.   Hopefully Santa Claus will be able to read what they want!!!




The interesting thing is when we go to the Tabitha Homes - the children there don't really know if they will receive anything for Christmas.  If they have parents, they are not sure if they will see them that day.  Such a contrast to what we experience! I'm sure Bernardeth will make sure they have 1 present for Christmas - but oh so different than our homes piled up with presents under a tree.


The churches are decorated with Advent wreathes, red bows, and a Christmas Tree. Here is a picture of our Advent Wreath this year!
