Yes, it seems like the last 3 months of celebrating are coming to their peak this week. School ended yesterday with an impromptu Christmas Program. We danced and sang and played games. It was a lot of fun. The students exchanged gifts. I have a pile of about 100 homemade and very creative Christmas cards.
Over the weekend I traveled to the Provincial Athletic Meet to support our athletes. We joined with all of the schools in Mt. Province to play about every sport you can imagine (no football) including chess, table tennis, and martial arts. There was also a cheer dance competition in which our entire 4th year class competed and took 3rd place.
This week there is rooster’s mass, starting at dawn every day. On Christmas Eve I will attend the midnight mass and the program here before heading to my host mother’s home town for Christmas Day. I’ll let you know how it is.
Hope all of you are enjoying the holidays. It hasn’t been at all stressful here like it sometimes is back home. Maybe because we have stretched it out since September.
Cheers!
