Christmas is the way family and friends go home from church! Everyone is in a party mood and people go from one house to another,
visiting family and friends on | |
Cthe way home! At every house you have something to eat, exchange presents and enjoy the bash! People get their biggest stereo speakers out and honk their favorite music!
Everyone wears their best clothes, as for some families the only new clothes they get every year are for Christmas. The parties are a good place to show them off! Children believe that Santa Claus brings those presents on Christmas Day, ready to show their friends at Church and at the parties. Only the central room in the house is decorated. Most Zimbabwean homes do not have a traditional ‘European’ Christmas tree but they decorate the room with plants like ivy draped round the ceiling.
They don’t have carol singers in Zimbabwe and that the only time carols are sung is during the Christmas Day morning service. Christmas Cards often have pictures of African wild animals, rather than snow scenes! Chicken with rice is a very expensive food in Zimbabwe and hence a special Christmas treat.
