Another new and extraordinary experience during my time here in Ecuador: Christmas, 24 December 2008.
in advance I already knew it would not be like usual, but very different, and that's it.
was first, the month of December, as I wrote before, like any other month of the year, but that was all because of the gift buying something more stressed.
Then it was so far come to the holy night.
The afternoon I spent at home. My Host parents had to work, so I saw this first clock to 18, the first time.
stood in the kitchen all over head and our two housekeepers darted from one corner to the other. As I helped, of course.
For example, between 19 - and 20 clock finally wobbled the first few guests, siblings, nieces and nephews, brothers and sisters and parents of my host mother. I only knew a few.
had previously asked me whether we would go because in the church. My mother said yes, but we did not, which I thought was a pity, because this is for me actually to do so.
So we ate around 21 clock. Since not all fit at one table, separated children and adults.
There was soup, then two different kinds of meat, salad and rice us for dessert cake and a cream.
It was delicious.
Traditionel be here until the gifts presented by 12 clock at night, so we sat up there together, the adults talked and drank a lot, played some Wi or Playstation, others just lay in bed and watched TV.
Shortly before 12 were down then we all called, and my host mother distributed the gifts.
The mood was good and everyone was happy. After the gift exchange were still all together, dancing, chatting, and nibbled getrunken.Gegen made two half our guests on the way home, we cleared more quickly away a few things and went then finally sleep. On 25
and 26 was celebrated in my family at all.
Christmas was here so only on 24 December, for me, something different than usual but still very beautiful.
