I guess " ´tis the season" sounds better in English than Spanish.
My neighbors just finished their third consecutive night of caroling, each night is progressively more rocking than the previous.
Tonight's most popular song was "Navidad." The lyrics, to the tune of Jingle Bells, are as follows "Navidad. Navidad. Navidad. Navidad."
Catchy, eh.
This afternoon we had the office gift exchange. On Dec. 1, we held an office-wide meeting to set the parameters for the exchance.
It would take place on Monday, Dec. 20 at noon. Everyone was informed. We all drew names out of a hat. Price limit was $5.
I drew our office's secretary. I had had several conversations with her about how she wanted to read more books, except that she didn't have any. I went to a book store last week and bought Charlie and the Chocoloate Facotry, Old Man and the Sea, and The Alchemist.
I showed up at the office today at 12:15 ready for the exchange, knowing that it wouldn't start on time.
Ian: What time are we going to do the exchange?
Co-worker: Noon.
Ian: It's already 12:15.
Co-worker: I know. We all have to go buy our presents first.
They all proceed to leave the office and go to the gift store down the street for presents before meeting back at a restaurant for an office Christmas party.
The Christmas decorations that you see at the top of this post were made by my co-workers. They spent an entire week decorating the office for Christmas.
