Christmas

So last Christmas was my first white Christmas and being at home with family was a beautiful thing. The interesting thing about this time of year is that it is the dry season but also the coldest time of the year with the wind blowing almost constantly. Now I enjoy this very much because I know that after the wind dies down during late January and February it is dry and hot!!! So naturally you enjoy the wind while you can and it is a good feeling to cover up at night. I can't help think about the fact that here and back home everybody is getting a little cold with stuffy noses and sore throats. We call this a cold but here it is called Cahtah ever one either is sick with Cahtah or Malaria. I can fortunately say that I have never had Malaria but do suffer from some small Cahtah. Its nice to look at these little similarities and the differences that take place knowing that no matter what we choose to call something it still affects us in the same way. Life is funny in that way the important thing to remember is that really we are all the same, yes individually we are different but deep down we are the same.
