One more year we have celebrated the
traditional Christmas Party. In my case, every year in a different school
but with the same spirit. The predictions were fulfilled; you, my dear pupils,
participated enthusiastically and we all had fun.
Your short stories invaded
our classroom walls. We read and voted them. Being “The Wings” and “Life
Itself” the two awarded ones. You will have the opportunity to re-read every
story after the holidays since they will be displayed on the school walls
again.
The slideshow Daniel had
prepared with more than forty photos was viewed by all of you. It was exciting
to see you all moving from one room to another deciding on the photos or the
stories to vote. After counting the votes and due to the rules of the contest, only
three of your stunning photos could be given a prize -a photo frame with the
winning photo!!!

| Some of your tasty dishes |
Surprisingly enough, we had
to wait for a few minutes -although it seemed hours to some of us, to taste the
delicious dishes you had warmly prepared for the cookery contest. Everything
was really tasty … Christmas biscuits, chocolate cookies, scrumptious cakes
(white chocolate, yoghurt, lemon, …) and brownies, apple crumble, trifle, … Not
only did we eat sweets but also tuna pie, macaroni, Spanish omelette, “quesada”
or two typical dishes from Colombia. The jury had a really difficult task in
choosing the winning dishes.

In the end, and after the
award ceremony full of clapping, cheering, hugs and kisses, we sang and danced
memorable Christmas songs as in any celebration worth its salt.

| CONGRATULATIONS!!! |
Well, it’s time to finish
this entry but before that, I would like to congratulate every participant, even you
got a prize or a small gift or not, you did the most important part of this
Christmas party, you made it possible. Thanks a lot.
Many thanks to the rest of
pupils who joined us and had a great time together. I’m sure it was worth
spending the evening at school. And thanks to Daniel, Eva and Carmen for being
patient with me and all my fussy questions and last-minute suggestions.
To all of you …
