December Already??

Thanksgiving is over (it was a good one, check out the pictures here), and Christmas is right around the corner. Where has the time gone? It’s already December! My apartment is decorated, complete with a small Christmas tree, paper snowflakes, and green and red paper chain links on the wall. I have downloaded all my favorite Christmas songs. And this week, I started Christmas lessons (my students get a full month of Christmas!), beginning with a lesson on Santa Claus. As part of the lesson, I had them write letters to Santa. Most of them were the standard, “Dear Santa, I have been good this year. Please send me a PSP. Love, Bob.” Today, however, I got this letter:

Dear Santa,
We have been good this year. We study very hard, sometimes until 7:00am. And I ate milk and drank fruit everyday. So I’m very healthy. I believe we need a balence of yin and yang to be healthy. Please send us a sporting ball.
From,
Me
