I really like how much everybody here in England is into the Christmas spirit. Everyone is very jolly about it, and the younger children in our school have put on partly interactive shows just to spice up every one's feelings. The Year 3 production was a wonderful, slightly modified version of the Nutcracker, which was executed beautifully. I didn't get to see the Years 1 and 2 show, but I imagine that it was wonderful as well. Above is our recent trip to an ice skating rink in Cambridge.
Not just our school, but the town has caught Christmas fever as well. Christmas lights were hung up along Trinity Street quite a while ago now, and all over England there have been church services celebrating the beginning of Advent. All the stores have sections just for Christmas-like things, and I find that it is impossible to talk to anybody without drifting to the topic of Christmas. Especially since it has been snowing lately, just like the stereotype of a Christmas morning.
