This episode exposes my’ truth’ that I never could see in over 50 years of my existence. I don’t remember any Christmas that didn’t leave me feeling unfulfilled. I imagined that the western standards of this season celebration was a pie in the sky situation as we saw on television. No white Santa, gifts etc.. we blamed our parents for not copying the western countries. Even blamed God for the lack of snow in Uganda just to be at par.!!!! The expectations consistently left us dreading every other coming season. Now. It’s clear that this subtle superimposed culture has always been made up and perpetuated by adults who believed in its truth,passed onto generations and kept alive. Other tradition holidays are fun because no obligations apart from showing up in village gatherings. Music, dance, feasting local foods . No fancy clothes. Just people having fun African style. Thanks Jason family for sharing researched and experienced life that at least resonates with me. I wish I had known this much earlier
