Christmas In School

Well, the whole performance was in polish, but I catched on pretty quickly. I'm not really religious and I  don't know the whole story, but from this I do know that Jesus was born on christmas -I still don't know what the witch and the kings got to do with that though. I apologize for my ignorance.The show was great, the kids were presumably adorable. We have some real talent in our school, also not only in the field of acting but in singing also. We got to see some really nice musical eprformances also. I've heard the girls singing a few times in events like this and it's so beautiful it always brings a little tear to my eye.
Also with Penina and Claudia we sang Silent Night, of course in our own languages (which also brought a little tear to my eye, but in a little bit different matter). We didn't practice before this and last minute we decided to throw an english version in the end for all together. Claudia sang in spanish and I forgot the lyrics. I should get video at some point of this event, I'll be happy to share. But overall, an enjoyable experience.

After the performances, the classes had their christmas eve suppers in their classrooms. I'm fortunate to be able to celebrate christmas so many times in different situations, because christmas equals food. Traditional style, we had barszcz soup and pierogi, and the rest of the food were provided by the students. Salad, fish, cakes, cookies, gingerbread... It was also nice to spend this time with a gimnazjum class, as I don't work with them so much. We broke some christmas bread and wished all the best and merry christmas to each other and enjoyed each other's company. And the food.

To be honest pani, you could have predicted this, with all the sugar you're allowing them to consume on this occasion. Just saying.

Anyway, this was a perfect last day, and I'm happy to have a little holiday right now. I'm excited about going to Finland, as well as I'm not so excited about still not having my backpack packed. I do this everytime, I manage everytime and I still stress about it. This is exactly why I need some holiday from time to time. So merry christmas, happy new year Poland, I'll see you in january!
