I noticed it from a ride in the temple park.
Cambodians celebrating Christmas.
Since before I arrived in Cambodia, Christmas has been a big deal for local believers. But this year it seems like the general population is taking their family to the park and posting Christmas greetings online.
I like it better when Dec 25th falls on a weekday, away from the busy time of church. But it actually worked out ok. It meant that December 25th felt like a bonus holiday. Like having a meeting cancelled in the middle of a hectic day.
We had already done presents and Christmas, so we didnt have any big things to do. But it wasn't a school day so it felt like an extra holiday with Christmas leftovers and no agenda.
Soeun and the others spent the day making decorations and killing ducks, but the kids and I just enjoyed Christmas day 2.
And today the prep for Christmas continues, as the program is the afternoon.
