I can hardly believe that Christmas is right around the corner.  These weeks seem to roll by so quickly, dates just creep right up on you.  For me it is the atmosphere around Christmas.  You notice this more in the states with all the themed decor they put on the streets.  Its a nice feeling.  Here, not as much, but that doesn’t stop me from getting in gear. These past few weeks have involved a lot of Christmas music in my classes.  The kids love it and more importantly who doesn’t automatically get relaxed by “White Christmas” by the legend Bing Crosby or “It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas” by Perry Como.  “Feliz Navidad” always puts me in a good mood.  Particularly, when they break into the soulful “I wana’ wish you a merry Christmas.”  It always puts me in second gear.

Well,  I hope everyone has a good vacation and remember to be safe out there.  Don’t trust random men dressed up as the Claus, for there is only one.
