Christmas this year was on a Tuesday, and in theory I had to work on that Tuesday, and possibly even give an exam! Luckily it was in my contract that I could move my classes from Christmas Day to another day, so I moved them to Boxing Day forenoon, much nicer!
For Christmas Eve I organized a meal in my house for any foreign teachers who were interested. In the end we had Chris and I, Mina and Yuki the Japanese teachers, Gary the Australian and his wife, mike the English doctor and his wife, and James the Australian too. Everyone brought some various food, James brought sushi and wine, the Japanese brought pasta and Chinese food and I bought a roast chicken from the supermarket, we put it all together with four or five bottles of wine, beer, whiskey and gin and had a great Christmas meal!
After the meal we had a secret Santa in which I received a beautiful panda hat, and various presents were given to all!
For Christmas Day an American, Dennis, who teaches in the technology college , invited the foreign teachers to his house for a Christmas drink, we spent the day around the house relaxing and then wandered over the in the evening to his house along with quite a few others for some social drinks and chatting, it was a nice evening and a lovely Christmas, and you can see from the coming pictures, it is a beautiful hat!
