Christmas in Bangladesh is lacking the cold, evergreen trees, not to mention the lack of public excitement in a Muslim country, but we had a fun pre Christmas dinner with some family friends. Veronika made a wonderful dinner of rice, chicken and fish so Bengali's didn't have to feel that they weren't fed. We made cookies and I think at first they wondered why I was making them help with their food but I think they figured out it's actually a kind of fun activity with tasty results. You may describe this as a Charlie Brown Christmas tree but I have raised it from a small sapling and I think it's pretty cute!
