Tis the Season

I love all things Christmas. Everything about the season makes me happy. I am an admitted Christmas music listener from July to December (much to Axel's chagrin).

I thought that since I moved to Nepal I might have to sacrifice some of my love for the Christmas season. Not so. In fact, Christmas seems to appear all throughout the year.

We have beautiful Amaryllis in our yard from April to May:

Women wear Christmas green and red during special times of the year. These photos were taken on Nepali Mother's Day a few weeks ago:

Red and green are the colours of marriage.
Pointsettia trees grow throughout the winter with an amazing burst of red.

So, I don't have to sacrifice my love for the Christmas season at all. In fact, one would also argue that Halloween is also in full force throughout the year as well.

Lucky me.
