When I got to Auburn, I tried to recreate those memories with my roommate. We'd stare at the Christmas tree together, and listen to Delilah on the radio. Since then, I've been searching for Christmas.
I attend as many church services as I can. I wander around the city or the shopping centers, trying to gather the energy of the atmosphere.
I stayed in Nairobi town for Christmas Eve and Day. The streets were drastically quieter than usual in the city. I attended three services at All Saints Cathedral. The sermons didn't speak to me. I know I could've preached better sermons myself.
But the music and the words always speak to my spirit. This is what I was looking for:
Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
