Melkam Genna

Today is Christmas in Ethiopia.  I discovered that about 9:00 last night.  The tradition is to go to the church where a candle ceremony takes place, people are dressed in traditional clothing, dinner is Dora Wat (which is a chicken stew) eaten with Injara ( a porous bread), with homemade beer, and Genna is played after dinner which is somewhat like field hockey.  Hmmmm, alright.  So we used our Ethiopian table cloth, had chicken soup eaten with Nan and played "Trouble".  Oh, we ate popcorn which is a common tradition in Ethiopia.  It's the thought that counts, right?
