Merry Christmas!
 Merry Christmas!

Christmas day has finally come!  I hope you have a fantastic time with your family doing whatever it is you do, be it roast chicken, cake, presents, or anything else!  This is my third Christmas in a row away from Canada and my fifth altogether, so I'm not feeling too homesick :)  I had a traditional Christmas dinner sitting at my kotatsu with some good friends last night.  We had cranberry sauce, turkey gravy, turkey stuffing, turkey burgers (not so traditional!), mashed potatoes, veggies, mincemeat tarts, shortbread, eggnog, and traditional Christmas cake sent from Canada.  We exchanged presents and watched traditional Christmas TV specials like 'The Grinch Who Stole Christmas' and 'The Muppets Christmas Carol'.  We also sang Christmas karaoke songs and did Christmas purikura :)  It was a great 'orphan Christmas'.  Afterwards, I talked to my Dad for a bit.

Please remember tomorrow (Wednesday, December 26) is our last day of classes here at ECM for 2012.  Regular classes will resume January 7, 2013.  See you next year and enjoy this holiday season!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
 Hi!

It's Iana here.  I've been told that the temperatures here in Kudamatsu might actually go below zero next week...  As I'm already sick and trying to recover from it, such a forecast does not promise anything good. Please be careful and take good care of your health and body in this dangerously cold season.

Tomorrow is the last day of Christmas classes here at ECM.  It went by fast didn't it? It's sad that Christmas lessons are ending but thankfully there are plenty of other holidays to look forward to.  And Christmas is right around the corner too. And then a few days later the New Year. Plus, most of our younger students will have a long 2 week vacation from school. So overall there are many things to look forward to.

As this will be my last blog entry for this year and this holiday season, I would like to wish all of you a very merry and joyful Christmas as well as a prosperous New Year filled with smiles.  Best wishes to you, your loved ones and anyone else you will spend this holiday season with.  I myself will go back home for the holidays.

~Iana.



P.S.: On the picture above you can see a few of the origami Christmas tree decorations we've been making in class with the older Junior High and High School students. Those of them who have Christmas trees at home took them with them, but those who don't put them on our Christmas tree at the Kudamatsu ECM office.

1 Week till Christmas!
Well we're over half finished our Christmas lessons and only a week away from Christmas!  All of you in school must be excited and counting down your last days of school before holidays start.  I'm enjoying hearing your plans for your holidays and what you want for presents...I hope you're all on Santa's nice list and get what you want!

While the teenage students have been watching a short clip of Mr. Bean's Christmas special, I've been watching an excerpt of Garfield's Christmas special with the elementary kids.  While I don't expect them to understand the dialogue except for a few words, we have been doing an accompanying worksheet to put the events of the video in order, answering true or false questions, and matching the names of the characters with their picture.  I'm so happy when they tell me they liked it and understood it!  There are many popular Christmas specials to choose from, but I chose Garfield because he's not very popular in Japan and it was one of my favourite TV specials to watch at Christmas when I was a child; it still is in fact!  Garfield is a fat, orange cat who is very sarcastic and loves lasagna.  He lives with John, his well-meaning owner and a dog named Odie who is very sweet but a bit dim witted :)  I wish we had time to watch the whole show!

Take care and end enjoy your first weekend of freedom :)

Xmas all the way
 Hi there!

Iana-sensei desu.  As some of you already know, we're in the middle of Christmas classes.  We'll do them for two weeks so we're almost halfway through... It's sad that Christmas is only once a year ne?  I've been enjoying all the Christmas lessons this week so much! I hope you enjoy them too.

In class we play Christmas related games, sing and listen to Christmas songs, learn Christmas words. The little kids watch a short Christmas cartoon. With the older students we talk about the history of Christmas, its traditions and customs. We also discuss how Christmas and New Year are celebrated here in Japan. Xmas in USA and in Japan is quiet different, so it's interesting to compare them.

As small special treats all our students get Christmas candy and special Xmas stickers in class. On the other hand, today in Shunan one of the  students gave me a small Xmas present!  It's SO cute!  THANK YOU!!!  I've attached a picture of it below...

~Iana.




P.S.: Also, a big THANK YOU to another one of today's students in Shunan for reading this blog regularly, properly and attentively!  I will try my best to make it more interesting in the future.

2 Weeks Till Christmas!
 Hello!

Well holidays are just around the corner and the weather has definitely gotten cooler....I was so happy to see it snow on the weekend, but the Canadian in me wishes for colder weather and a few feet of snow :)  Yamaguchi winter is more like an October day in Canada for me!

Yesterday we started Christmas lessons at ECM and so far it's been really fun....I'm really enjoying seeing the kids try to sing 'Jingle Bells' and showing them what a traditional Christmas dinner should look like :)  With the Junior High and High School kids I've been watching a part of Merry Christmas Mr. Bean and getting them to do activities related it. It's great to see them practice speaking and laughing at a different type of comedy; a sense of humour is definitely cultural. We've also been talking about how they celebrate Christmas and Oshogatsu with their families.

We will continue Christmas lessons next week as well, so everyone gets 2 lessons; one from me and one from Iana-sensei :)

Take care!

Ziggy
