Nakutakia Krismasi Njema! Merry Christmas!

Kenya’s many Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ on December 25, which is a public holiday. The events are largely religious in nature, featuring church services, caroling and nativity performances. Houses and churches are decorated with balloons, flowers and green leaves and storefronts in the larger towns are bathed in fake snow. If parents can afford gifts for the children, it will often be books, practical items or a new outfit for attending church. Families get together to attend services then enjoy a feast, usually of roasted goat.

This will be the last Fun Fact Friday until we are settled in our new home at Rift Valley Academy. Have a joy-filled Christmas celebrating the advent of our great Savior and Treasure, Jesus!

Wishing you a Merry Christmas in Swahili
