Early Christmas




Christmas comes early in Trinidad and Tobago. They start decorating Nov 1st, since they don't do Thanksgiving.


We had a branch pot luck a couple of weeks ago. Dad had prepared a Book of Mormon jeopardy. We never got around to playing because they got out the Christmas tree Sister Conk had left and spent the time decorating it and the church. They put the tree in the chapel at the end of the evening and several decorations as well. The missionaries didn't know how to tell them we couldn't do that. We let it go and they went to talk to the President after we read the handbook. They took it better than expected. Christmas is a really big deal here. School lets out Dec 5 and resumes after Christmas.
