Awaiting Christmas and School

How was your week?
I am SUPER excited to come home in a few days :)

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2011.

This week I went back to the Christmas Market and did some shopping. Christmas is around the corner. Home in 9 Days :)

Some friends and I went to Vevey and Rented Bicycles. Remember the saying 'You never forget how to ride a bike' Well you can and i did but it doesn't take long to get back up.

Christmas Theme :) 

I did the flower arrangements, but it was more like a centre piece this week.





TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2011.


In Switzerland it is believed that Saint Nicholas (Santa Clause) comes on December 6th to bring the children presents. Surval had their own Saint Nicholas bring presents. 


Each French teacher choose two students to give presents to and each present came with a french note. Translated mine said "Since you are always tired don't lay your head on the table, lay it on this."

I got a pillow :)

Everyone got a goody bag with nuts and chocolate.

The gifts were then followed by dinner (meat fondue) and dancing to the live entertainment of Chico Freeman and Reto Weber.


Chico is a world renowned modern jazz tenor saxophonist and trumpeter.
