Well, Alaska is of course similar to the rest of the US, but we had maple frosted doughnuts, smoked salmon on crackers and salmon pie!  Uh, the fish was not a big hit with most of the dc.

China's Christian population is only about 1% - though if you do the math, that's a LOT of people! - so of course Christmas is not a big deal.  But we had chow mein, egg rolls & fortune cookies for lunch after we made paper lanterns!

We had fun trying to speak Madagasy (Santa is Dadabe Noely) and tried some canned lychees for our study of Madagascar.  No one liked those, either!

We are SNOWED IN and Daddy is home, so no school today! 

Peace,

Katie

I was wondering how your family was doing with all that snow! I am glad your husband has the day off to spend with the family! Enjoy it!

It is hard to try all those yummy foreign foods when you can only get the icky canned versions in your local store... :)

living in AK now, I can say fresh salmon is amazing... canned salmon not so!!! Fresh gently smoked salmon made into a dip... oh my... its phenomenal!! :)

OH - and with all that snow... maybe try some now icecream!! a little fresh snow, eggs milk sugar and vanilla, stir, and voila! Our favorite... inf act we might make it today, since it just WON'T STOP!!
