The last American Christmas for two years...

As the U.S. is in full swing with the holidays, I can't help but wonder how life will be so much different a year from now. The holiday season is such an institution for Americans and something a majority of us look forward to each and every year. It's a time for family, food and faith. I can't imagine a December without hot chocolate, mistletoe or Bing Crosby.

How do Rwandans celebrate Christmas? Only time will tell, but in the mean time the song "I'll Be Home for Christmas" has taken on a whole different meaning and this season I've come to realize how truly grateful I am for family and friends.
