In this Round Trip Stories Podcast Season 1 finale episode we hear about Christmas and New Years around the world. Thank you to Sherene, Harold, Monica, Kat, and Megan for sharing your stories with us! We are told about Panetón in Peru, Kentucky Fried Chicken in Japan, and watchnight chicken sandwiches in the Middle East. There are Christmas trees in China, New Year’s wedding saris in India, grapes in Spain, and burning the old year in Ecuador and Panama! These can be celebrations we miss or continue to celebrate as we bring bits of our times abroad into our current lives now, especially during the holidays. And we should, because they are part of us.
We pray that you find joy in this holiday season, wherever, whenever and however that may be.
