On New Year's Day we needed to go to a nearby mall in Nairobi to book our bus tickets for the return trip to Kitale. We were chatting with the taxi driver and asked if he saw in the new year. His answer wasn't a typical American response.
"Yes, I saw the new year in at church. We were giving thanks for all the blessings we received in 2014."
I wonder what percentage of Kenyan bring in the new year in the same way? Several students has commented that they spent New Year's Eve at church. I had thought that perhaps it was a special celebration for the youth. Perhaps it is more widespread than I had thought.
