4 Kafugbe Cockers
5 gold rings
6 bead bracelets
7 raffia mats
8 Ahenema sandals
9 Fontomfrom drummers
10 Kpanlogo dancers
11 Wood carvings
12 Apoto'yowas ;-)

    Hey Nana Yaw,

    Record this carol and post it on your blog.
    It really will bring out the authentic Ghanaian spirit of Christmas to all the readers.

    And here I was thinking you would have said:
    1 country
    2 contenders
    3 conspiracy theories
    and words to that effect! :-)After all it's the season to be polling isn't it?
    I agree with Posekyere - it's a nice Ghanaian Christmas carol!

    About country, contenders and conspiracy theories, I feel that most people are tired of politics. Thanks, Denise, for agreeing about the Christmas carol thing.
