On Christmas Eve, I spent the morning in the downtown market area. I wanted to see the kind of activities and happenings in preparation for Christmas.
This is my first and only Christmas in Congo (per my wife). My Christmas stay was necessity versus a real experience.
To my surprise, it was a normal day. Even the kids went to school. So, I asked why? The election polling stations were at mostly schools and churches. Therefore, the kids were off days before and after the elections. Note, I said days before and after!
I was awaken by cheering students on the day after Christmas. They were preparing to start their school day. Unbelievable, it's suppose to be an official holiday.
Therefore, the Christmas vacation was stolen from them. There was a lot of stealing during and after the election. The Grinch was active!
