Christmas 2010 was unlike any holiday I've ever experienced before! The last two weeks at the school are one big blur of jingle bells, crazy costumes, Santa Clause, caroling, dancing, and an extra heavy dose of the Taiwan chaos that by this point in time we'd all come to know and love! One of the highlights for me was the Kindergarten Nativity. I've never felt the Christmas Spirit as strongly as I did watching those beautiful children act out the story of the Savior's birth. We were also able to teach our students "Silent Night" to perform at the program. Hearing those words over and over throughout December gave me a wonderful opportunity to really think about their meaning. Christmas in Taiwan was very different from home...but I loved every minute!
