Xmas Greetings

Dear friends,

Our winter holidays are about to begin. I think we all need and deserve them, don’t you agree with me?

In spite of the grim images of the YouTube video I’ve chosen (I’m not very fond of the typical Xmas decorations and carols), I sincerely wish you MERRY CHISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

We have to recharge our batteries. Our students are already preparing your stay in Barcelona. In fact, in a month time you will be landing in Barcelona’s airport. Meanwhile, enjoy your winter rest.

Give our regards to all the people involved in the exchange and our best wishes for all the teachers, your head teacher and the staff who made our stay in your hometown a wonderful experience last April. We will never forget it!

Love,

Mònica

So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
Ans so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
And what have we done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
Ans so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over over
If you want it
War is over
Now...

We have no right to complain

A friend of mine sent it to me on the internet and I thought it was worth posting it on the blog...There are no words to describe some of the images.

Day for the eradication of violence against women

Behind the wall by Tracy Chapman

Last night I heard the screaming/ Loud voices behind the wall/ Another sleepless night for me/ It won't do no good to call/ The police/ Always come late/ If they come at all

And when they arrive/ They say they can't interfere/ With domestic affairs/ Between a man and his wife/ And as they walk out the door/ The tears well up in her eyes

Last night I heard the screaming/ Then a silence that chilled my soul/ I prayed that I was dreaming/ When I saw the ambulance in the road

And the policeman said/ I'm here to keep the peace/ Will the crowd disperse/ I think we all could use some sleep
