I celebrated the holiday by going to midnight mass at one of the two local catholic churches. At no time in recent memory have I been to a catholic mass, so why not in Bangladesh? About 15 of our students came with us (Everyone wanted to come, but only the Christians were allowed to attend!) The church was mostly Sri Lankan ex-pats. And it was, of course, decked out with bright lights:

On Christmas Day, there was a special lunch at school. Chef tried his hand at mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables and roast chicken! It was really quite tasty, and he was quite proud. The students, however, thought the food was way too bland for a special holiday.
With Chef (Gias) and his masterpieces!
Chittagong has a lot of garment factories, where people sew ready-to-wear clothes. One of our students gave us a gift-- she hit the jackpot in surplus granny-panties, and wanted to share the wealth. So we each got our own pair.
