Planning for Christmas

Well, the school gave me my assignment for the Christmas show. My class has been given a country music Christmas song. Yes, you read that correctly. The song is called, “He was Born in a Barn,” and let me just say… it’s a keeper. To be honest, I’m a little overwhelmed by what they’ve asked me to do. The principal literally handed me an old, homemade DVD of the Tegucigalpa's school's Christmas program, and said, “Teach them number six.” Well, number six is not only a country Christmas song, it’s also filmed with little kids who clearly don’t really know what moves they’re supposed to be doing. So I have no idea how to teach the dance. I hope the school doesn’t take this too seriously, because I think it’s going to end up being hilarious. I’ll post a video of our performance after it happens.

Other than that... we have three more days until our weekend in Tegucigalpa, and then three weeks until Christmas. I am getting so excited to come home. There are some things I just can't wait to enjoy again- central heating, consistently warm showers, grocery stores, fresh fruit and vegetables that don't have to be washed in bleach, non-moldy rooms, rooms without bugs, a significant lack of moths and spiders, good hot chocolate, an abundance of ice, Target, people who can speak English, and American men. Ah, I'm so excited for the holidays :)

  1. Haha, you have the Christmas Program we did last year. I must say there are some pretty classic songs. At least when you watch the program you will laugh it could be worse. Cya in a few days.

  2. Interestingly, it is when you discover that your cravings for these small comforts that have on a daily basis at home, in fact it will not matter so much when I had them at your fingertips.
