Christmas in Uganda

While there are similarities in the Christmas season such as it is an opportunity to make money. My friend Steven told us that as a child he look forward to Christmas because it is the one day in the year they would have a soda with a meal that included rice and beef or chicken. The parents have to work harder and longer to earn the money for this special dinner. Last year I was sent a picture of the children from the Christian Academy and they were all holding a bottle of orange soda. I now have very different emotions about this picture.
