There won't be snow in Africa this Christmas

Den forsta december borjade jag lyssna pa julsangerna pa min ipod.

Do They Know It's Christmas Time by Band Aid

It's Christmastime
There's no need to be afraid
At Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmastime

But say a prayer

Pray for the other ones
At Christmastime it's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging
chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
(Oooh) Where nothing ever grows
No rain nor rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

(Here's to you) raise a glass for everyone
(Here's to them) underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Feed the world

Let them know it's Christmastime again

(Bob Geldof & Midge Ure)

Men vad ar jul egentligen? I Ghana kommer det inte vara sno denna jul. Och om det annars brukar vara julforberedelser ar de i ar bortglomda i och med valet.

Enligt vad jag har forstatt handlar julen i Ghana mer om religion an vad den gor i Sverige. Julafton gar i stort satt ut pa att ga i kyrkan i olika omgangar och be. Inte sa mycket julklappar, julgranar, Kalle Ankor och tomtar. Kanske skulle nagra ghananer fraga er dar hemma i Sverige: Do you know it's Christmastime at all?




Ni kan val halla tummarna for att allt gar bra i valet pa sondag? Jag ska spendera helgen inlast, eller i alla fall nara, huset.
