Gudele Baawaba Station Decorated With Christmas Cookies For Sale.
As it is in South Sudan every junubi will feel more happier with a plate of cookies (cakes) and milk toffee sweeties served upon a festive season family visit, it shows how much a visitor is welcomed for a feast or celebration.
Now, as juba people prepare for the mighty Christmas celebration, it has obviously become not just a Christian phenomenon but also equally celebrated by non-Christians around the city, as we drove towards gudele two one of juba’s happening suburbs, with large residential areas high traffic is seen from everywhere in the streets.
South Sudanese women often decorate juba streets with cakes packed in different buckets sizes for sale, which range from around 7,000 (SSP) to 25,000 (SSP) which is around 10$-35$, of course like most cookies these juba cakes are spiced up and made sweet enough to accompanied with even a glass of juice or water.
It’s almost a taboo that every family purchase at least one bucket of these cookies for children and visitors that may come around.
Everyone is just ready to welcome the birth of Christ in new hope of changing the standards of living of the common people.
