Well, nearly to Christmas and I’m coping surprisingly well because it’s doesn’t feel like Christmas at all!

Usually the last 3 weeks would be organizing and attending Christmas functions, seeing all the girls and having work lunches left right and centre :) We are having a ‘Secret Santa’ with the teachers and we’re all heading out to dinner on Christmas Eve to Calzone’s which is an Italian restaurant and then probably a bar/pub crawl ‘til the wee hours of the morning. I’ll spend Christmas morning with a hangover and on Skype with the family opening presents and watching Will have a Field day! The afternoon will be with Charles, opening more pressies and getting ready to work the next day…weird!

New Years Eve will be spent at an expensive hotel (well, not if you convert to Aussie $’s) with Charles and ordering in Room Service, watching decent TV (I hope) and having a bath! I can’t wait…..bliss.

The last two weeks have been madness. The foreign teachers have to put on a ‘performance’ on Friday at the Christmas Festival, which should be a hoot! I’m about to head to Geno’s to practice and tape the vocals. Hopefully someone will be able to take photos and I’ll put them up on Flickr! We also had a film crew at the school last Monday and Tuesday for a promotional video for the school. I was taped one 4 different occasions; teaching a class, participating in an English Corner, a ‘forum’ with the Chinese English teachers and walking across the oval for an hour! Funo! We should be getting a video or DVD and I’ll be sending that home for everyone to laugh at enjoy.

I’d like to wish you all a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year and may 2007 bring you love, joy and happiness.

Thank you for all your support and I promise to put more photos on Flickr!

Love
