Humbug Day
I’m guessing this is for those
anti-Christmas types…
and, I don’t mean
those
who celebrate
different religious events
instead of the birth of Christ -
which to all kids
means the arrival of Santa!
I mean those people
who just don’t
believe
in Santa (What?)
or those who just don’t want
to be swept up
in the Christmas
Cheer…
Perhaps, they just don’t l
ike those carols!
Sadly, I am feeling a little
this way
at the moment.
I cannot believe how busy
I have been lately.
I am
longing for the time
when I can lie back a
nd just relax for a little while.
Work has been amazingly busy,
with obligations
and commitments rolling in,
one
after the other.
On Wednesday, just as things
were about to ease up
and the
kids were about to
start their holidays…
one of my girls
broke her collar
bones.
Nasty for her!
Fiddly paperwork for me!
Today, however, finally…
is my
last day of work!
We’ll enjoy some bacon and eggs
for breakfast
and will
pretend to be interested
in our fellow teachers
as they present to us
about
Literacy and Numeracy.
After celebrating the end of
the year last night,
a few
people may need
the grease of the bacon
and listening may become
very difficult…
but,
it’s the last day!
There will be a few of my locals
gathering at a nearby
watering hole this evening,
downing a little bubbly
and celebrating the fact
that we have made it!
I think, with a little bubbly
and a few laughs,
and no
more deadlines looming
(apart from Santa’s arrival
and Christmas Day!)
I will
have a little less
of the bar-humbug-ness
and a little more
Christmas Cheer.
How’s your Humbug-ness?
