Finally..

The school week is winding down and next week the winter holidays begin. Before the holiday, both girls are having Christmas parties in their classes and a visit from Santa Claus at their school! We have finally put up some Christmas decorations- our nativity scene, a lone nutcracker, a small but very festive Christmas tree, and some lights our housekeeper brought us. The weather has turned cold here and many of our friends in town have left or are preparing to leave for Christmas vacation. FINALLY it is beginning to feel like Christmas here in Cairo!!
