Well, Wednesday saw our staff Christmas party. The members of the Board came along and most of the staff were there. This year was very different from last year (apparently) and was very informal. We had a camp fire and sang Christmas carols around it in Spanish (same tunes), watched fireworks, had sparklers and toasted marshmallows in the fire. Actually, we had some games too involving passing soft toys around, my kind of staff 'do'. Then we had dinner - typical Honduran style, with cake and ice cream to follow. It was perfect! A good chance to practise my Spanish too, talking to the other teachers and board members. It was such a laugh, they really are lovely people!
Here are some photos of the evening.
Here we are singing round the campfire (I loved it!!)
Party games and sparklers...
Here are some of the Elementary teachers I work with. This is Xiomara and her family. She is my Spanish counterpart - teachs Spanish to Grades 1 & 2.
This is Gladys and Laura. Gladys teaches Spanish to Grades 3 & 4 and Laura teaches them English.

This is definately a much better way for Christmas staff parties, my type of do as well.M&S had their usual ball ot the Grand Hotel in Brighton. Needless to say I didn't go. The closest we will get to campfire & sparklers is the candlelight service,perhaps we could substitute a sparkler for a candle!!! perhaps not. Miss you and D.M. very much at the moment. love and God bless,Jean
