Events of December

I have just had my ballet performance last Saturday, and it was great! But it was over way too fast!! I mean, every year my mum's dance school puts on a performance (this year it was called "Christmas time on Cuba Street". I was a ghost!!) and we spend what seems like forever rehersing for it. It's really exciting, but when it comes to an end I feel so sad... oh well, there'll be another perfprmance next year and next year and so on so that's ok.

On Wednesday (20th Dec) was my Dad's birthday so we had guests come over for dinner. Then yesterday we put up our Christmas tree, and so now it actually feels like Christmas is coming. Before that, it kind of didn't feel like it, but now the house is looking all cheerful and festive. We have a Christmas tree growing in a cart in our backyard, and we bring in inside each year to decorate. Unfortunately it grows so fast that next year it will be be too big to fit in the house so we will plant it in our backyard and decorate it outside. So I guess we'll have to look for a new Christmas tree.

I can't believe Christmas is in just a few days! Mum and Dad go out every Christmas to a Russian party (which I also went to last year, but it was not much fun for me) so me and my sister have been invited to spend Christmas at a friend's house. That should be interesting.

Linda has just finished her time at Ss Peter and Paul School, it was very sad for her and she was quite upset about it. I can sympathise. I know how much you can get used to a place and then you have to leave and it feels horrible. But I'm sure she will enjoy college a lot, and besides, all her Ss Peter & Paul friends will be with her at Sacred Heart College so she doesn't have to worry about not knowing anyone. I think she'll have lots of fun.
