There was a sweet start to our Family Christmas Day when our children tucked into breakfast of mahamri, delicious doughnuts, made with coconut milk, and a traditional festive treat in local villages.
And the dough had been made on Monday by our teachers who spent the day in the kitchen helping the aunties to prepare a feast which included pilau, goat, tropical fruit salad and ice cream.
Once breakfast was over, and the banda ready for the big day, the children, dressed in their best clothes, and bubbling over with excitement, fathered to wait the arrival of a very special guest ... flying in directly from the North Pole for the occasion.
More of Christmas at the Happy House on tomorrow's blog.
