Tomorrow is the last day of school before the holidays and there has been very little sign at school of the season. Alas! Anyone who read about last Christmas at my school will remember how trees and decorations popped up all over the campus. We had trees and decorations contributed by Harrod's in London. What fun it was and how festive we were. However, the head of school demanded that everything be disposed of the moment we all went off on holiday. Bah humbug!
On Wednesday, I put up my old Christmas tree (artificial of course) in the main staff room and put a sign on it, saying 'Decorate me!" I also put a box of decorations there since nothing may have happened otherwise. By 8:30 it was completely decorated and people had brought other decorations into the room. This morning more lights appeared and a CD player with a Christmas CD. I also sent out an email suggesting that we have goodies in the staff room on Friday and offered to bring orange juice and mince tarts. I wonder what will happen. I have high hopes since, at the last moment, the Christmas spirit seems to have make a recovery. The only dark cloud on the horizon is the junior choir, who will be singing 'We wish you a Merry Christmas' at the school assembly tomorrow without the word 'Christmas' in it. I'll report back on what that's like tomorrow.

Why would you choose to sing We Wish You a Merry Christmas without the word Christmas in it? Why not just choose a different song? Or is that the point! Is the choirmaster making a statement? Interesting...
