While Chinese celebrated "Dong Zhi" (Winter Solstice) in other parts of the world, we had our own celebration here in Yuma. The little Asian group in Yuma had their Christmas party tonight. We didn't had "tong yuan" (pearl soup) but we had plenty of other delicacies.
Earlier today, some of us went carolling. I am glad I went carolling with them to the (1) Copper Hills House (2) Desert Rose Apartments (3) Beehive House and (4) SunQuest Village .
I am glad the senior citizens living in the respective homes enjoyed our singing. My heart went out to them. I thought about the absence of their loved ones, beside them. There were only 4 ladies, at the Beehive house, who came out into the sitting room, to listen to us. 2 of them looked so sad to me. I felt sad for them being there instead of being around their children and grandchildren, especially during festive seasons.
