Xmas

Time flies. It´s already the end of the year once again! When I started seeing Xmas decorations all over, panettones (an Italian word) in supermarkets, my students talking about their forthcoming social gatherings at the companies they work for/own, I clicked: "Gee, the year 2010 is over!" :oO
A retrospective always springs to mind in this period. I try to remember (I said ´try´ because I´m usually quite forgetful...) the things I did in 2010, what I conquered, what made me happy, what surprised me, what I learnt, what I taught, who/what touched my heart, who/what inspired me, the places I visited, the books I read, the people I met, the dreams that came true, what changed me somehow, well, this sort of thing.
Xmas is a time that calls for reflection naturally. Xmas reminds me of how important my family is to me.
A picture: Mrs. Claus back in 2008. She was busy in Mexico in 2009. ;o)
A mini Xmas gift to my readers: a naughty comic strip. Calvin and Hobbes, of course! :oP

  1. Friendaaaaa!!! Please become a teacher of something else so I can become your student =) huahauhauhau Merry X-mas, I am pretty sure your students are really proud of having you as a prof but not as much as I am of being your friend!
    So, 2011, please come over babe! ;-P

  2. Má, You´re soooooo sweet, my goodness! :o)
    Well, what could I teach you, my darling? We both know that English is discarded... Tu hablas muy bien la lengua española y no necesitas mi ayuda, estoy segura... Et la langue française, ma chérie, je sais que tu n´as pas besoin de moi, c´est la même chose...
    Anyway, being friends is special enough!!! What could be better than that?
    Due Cuochi is confirmed! I´ll be there! ;-)
    luv, luv, luv.

  3. I totally agree... it's time to think about all the things we did (and DIDN'T DO)... I'm glad 2011 is coming and new things will come too. Keep posting these lovely articles in 2011... Love, Carol :-)
