Christopher is excited to get out and play.
Tomorrow is the last day of school before spring break starts. There are a lot of holidays before we come back, including the Egyptian Spring’s Festival, Sham el Nessim. It is the day celebrating the beginning of spring and always falls on the Monday after the Coptic Easter celebration. The Copts are what Egyptian Christians are called, where Copt is an old word meaning Egyptian! The Easter that we celebrate in the States is the week after Coptic Easter this year, but both holidays are what are called “Moveable Feasts,” which means they follow the calendar set by the moon, rather than the sun, and so are on different days each year.
Spring break is especially exciting for me and Mommy this year because Mommy’s best friend Zach is coming to visit us. He is bringing some friends with him and we are going to have a blast. I will post pictures here and to Mommy’s Facebook page. We are going to the pyramids and to visit the Library at Alexandria, and we’ll ride on a boat where they will feed us dinner! It is so exciting!
‘Til next time,
Chris
