Iney Frank Quote

A bell is not a bell
until you ring it.
A song is not a song
until you sing it.

The love in your heart
was not put there to stay.
Love is not love
until you give it away.

It’s Christmas Time in the City

Christmas Season in Honduras is full of song, food, visits and joy!  I love it! 

A cool front arrived just in time Christmas Eve, that night.  So I wore a sweater to Midnight Mass and today there is just a bit of cool in the breeze … it is really nice!  We started celebrating 9 days before Christmas with Las Posadas. One friend and local benefactor invited us for a Christmas luncheon in her house with her mother the week before Christmas and gave us a Turkey to use for Christmas Eve dinner.  Another dear friend and benefactor invited us and eight of our teens to a Christmas Dinner (otherwise known as a feast) in her house the Sunday before Christmas.  Her whole family was there and we spent the night singing, dancing, praying, eating, laughing and celebrating.  

Another friend invited us to Christmas Dinner in her house with her three children.  The night ended in singing Christmas carols in four different language with Padrito and St. Nick playing the guitar.  It was such a lovely celebration and really felt like a Christmas at home, only with my new family.

Here are some pictures from our the dinner at our friend´s house with the teen -
