I have spent the last week in Christmas party preparation mode. 

Christmas in June, you ask? Apparently it’s a Peace Corps thing, and it makes some sense in Swaziland with June having colder weather than December. 

I’m in charge of this year’s party. There have been many times that I wished I wasn’t, but I will follow through with my assignment. It was fun to have a craft project to work on and adapt to Swazi style. 

The Christmas party is actually a Navidad party, complete with Mexican food and dessert and drinks, which meant I couldn’t make only American Christmas photo booth props. I had to make Mexican ones, too. 

Photo booth props complete with sticks from the yard in true Peace Corps style.
