Christmas Dreaming
Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, I'm officially in the Christmas Mood. Yesterday after English ended, Alejandra and I went to the €2 store to see if we could find any Christmas decorations... We were in luck. It was overflowing with red and green and gold, ornaments and garlands hanging from every shelf. We decided not to go overboard and bought a little fake poinsettia, a baby christmas tree and a battery-operated candle to put in my window. We headed home listening to and singing Christmas songs for the whole ride.
Needless to say, our fellow bus-riders didn't all appreciate our beautiful voices.
Alejandra's stop is just a few away from mine, so we ride the bus together most afternoons and on Wednesday and Friday mornings. She lost her iPhone earlier this month so she's adopted my iPod and she's putting up with my odd music choices. That said, Christmas music was loaded up on Sunday night, so bus rides have been filled with "Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer"s, "Here Comes Santa Claus"s and "White Christmas"s.
Alejandra's host mum is going away the week before we get out of school for Christmas holiday, so she needed a place to stay - I've acquired a roommate. We plan to decorate my room for the occasion and on the 22nd we both leave. Where to? That's a story for another post...
