Christmas Eve

Today, is Christmas Eve. If I were home in the States I would more than likely be home in Fort Worth, Texas with my family preparing for our annual family gathering. The preparations would include things like: cooking, cleaning, a few last minute shopping gifts, and getting dressed up. However, this year was different. I am in the Kingdom and there is no such thing as Christmas Eve nor Christmas as a matter of fact!

So, I awoke at 5:15am like any other Wednesday and prepared myself for work. When I arrived to work, the day was simply as any other. Students were in class – well supposed to be in class, teachers were trying to teach, and I was in my office analyzing data. It was simply any other day of the week.

Yet, I did find it interesting that the Muslims wanted to have a “Holiday Dinner” and do s gift exchange. So, I purchased my gift for my person.
