12 Days of Christmas "Chadian Style"

We have been in the capitol of Chad for the past three weeks waiting for our paperwork to be finished up and all the details of our car and drivers license taken care of before heading east.  One of the things we have done as we wait is find out what is available to buy in the capitol that we can't get out east, and store up on some supplies.  Today as we sat and sang Christmas carols with friends here, I was inspired to write my own version of this familiar song in light of these new experiences. 

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me
     A Land Cruiser for the family

     Three cheesy pizzas
