On Wednesday during the time between Uji and lunch I supervised the Mikumi kids while they decorated the house for Christmas. Each house has a little fake evergreen tree that the kids in the house decorates with personalized ornaments and other festive decorations. After we finished decorating the tree I gathered all of the kids in my house to try to get a nice group photo in front of the tree. This did not work out to my liking. We took three pictures and each one something went wrong. When I cropped some of the photos I did end up getting a few cute shots of some kids.
Ana made each house a December calendar to put up in their house. This calendar is meant to act as a advent calendar. The kids are so eager for Christmas. They ask almost everyday. So having the calendar the kids can see for themselves if it is Christmas yet.

On Christmas Eve each child receives a new pair of pajamas. The pajamas are given to them rolled up nicely with a ribbon around them. Then on Christmas Day the kids get a little something in their personal stocking. After stockings all of the kids gather in the rec. hall to receive their presents. Then at some point during the day the kids have a Christmas pageant. This pageant is like a talent show. The kids sing carols that they have been practicing.
