Caroling in Musoma

One of the missionary families here in Musoma carols to other ex-pats every Christmas. But, they are on furlough right now. So, a few months ago, Sarah and I realized that there was going to be a lack of caroling this year and we found this unacceptable. We decided to rectify the situation. We invited some local ex-pats to join us in caroling to the Musoma-area ex-pat families.

The band of nine carolers. 

Considering the fact that the family that is known to go a-caroling is out of town, we were able to surprise everyone when we started singing outside of their gate. We, however, were surprised when, at the second house, we walked up singing away and were greeted with the kids in tubs having an evening bath. The older kid hid himself throughout the songs while the younger sat like a king surveying his kingdom. Thankfully, their father offered to take a picture for us so that we could remember the hilarity.


We finished up the evening at Sarah's and my place with dinner, home-made eggnog and Elf.

  2. Ha! That's great about the baths - last year Zarya was in the bathtub when the Gilmores came caroling at our house - I hauled her out all soapy and everything and put her in her towel so she could listen (she was fascinated) then rinsed her after they left. Good memories!
