We are approaching the end of the school year here which means soon I'm not sure if I'll be able to use the internet. Tomorrow we are going to go to a beach on a different part of the island and the kids will all perform/ sing in a Christmas carol night. The next day we will have a picnic on the beach. I don't think anyone will be singing "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" unless they mean white sand beach. It's interesting that in the States we often associate Christmas with winter/ snow. You see Santa riding his sleigh through the snow, but us in the southern hemisphere/ tropics don't get that image. Maybe their Santa is riding a surfboard.
Christmas on Futuna should be good. One of the villages is opening a new church house so there will be a big celebration for that. Also there's a couple weddings at the time (Christmas is wedding season here). They say that for Christmas everyone on the island goes to one village to celebrate. Also a bunch of the Futuna people who live in Vila come back to the island for the holidays so I'll get to meet a lot of new people. However, some of the teachers and students who are from other islands will go back to their own islands so I won't see them again until January.
School officially starts up January 26th. This is like summer vacation in the U.S. So I'm not sure if I'll be online again before then. But you can email me and I'll get it eventually. Or write me a letter!
