FELIZ NAVIDAD

Tomorrow I will travel back to the US for the first time in three months. Therefore, I will be taking a short hiatus from my life in Spain ( and this blog) to celebrate the holidays with friends and family at home. It is unbelievable how fast it went by! ¡Feliz Navidad!

In every class we will be singing,"Santa Claus is coming to town:"
("Santa Claus se viene a la ciudad")

Estate atento
y no llores mas
no hagas pucheros
te digo por que
Santa Claus se viene a la ciudad

El hace una lista
y la vuelve a hacer
Apunta a los buenos y a los malos
también
Sant Claus se viene a la ciudad
El ve cuando tu duermes
Y también tu despertar
El sabe si vas bien o mal
Te tienes que compartar

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

It is definitely beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Málaga (aside from the fact that some people are still going to the beach). Every street is decorated with the most elaborate lights that are bright and beautifully lit at night. In the plazas, such as Plaza Constitución there are Christmas trees and other festive additions which give the city such a romantic and joyous feel! ¡Que guay es!
