Christmas Memories at School

Even though I'm celebrating Christmas on the 7th of January but I remember when I was at school we were celebrating on 25 December too.. My school would always start celebrations since 24 Dec that remain till 7 Jan.

We had a big tree to be set always on 24 Dec in the enterance.. by mid-day before the break while we still in our classes they work on getting the tree set up & ready.. so that when the break starts we get surprised & the celebation begins.. And one of our teachers would wear Santa Claus clothes (or as we used to call him Papa Noel although we were in an English school & that's not the English name so I've no idea where did this come from :D)..

- Sometimes if the students felt a bit earlier than the break that the school is preparing for Christmas they start making noise by telling each other & they can't wait anymore or concentrate & they would keep convincing the teachers to let us go to check what's happening, many teachers would give up for our requsts & let us go earlier happily :) that was so sweet :)) -

Santa Clause (the teacher whom we always just guess in the beginning who he was) go around the whole school and enter our classes to give us sweets, choloates & simple presents :) He gives also those party whistles & party hats.. Oh how I love & really miss those old days :)) memories are always magical to remember :) ..

We hear the very famous old Christmas carol music played around & that's how I recall it was saying "Merry christmas, Merry christmas, Merry christmas day..Santa Claus is coming now in the Christmas day" and "We wish you a Merry Christmas" carol too.. These were being played all the way till he finishs his tour in all classes..
We all start singing with Santa Claus, the whole school, all teachers & students..

All this is happening on the 24th of December then the Tree stays set up till the 7th of January.. That's how we were celebrating Christmas twice which was fantasic! :D At school we have that celebration on 24 Dec & still we have all the spirit & look of Christmas is up till 7 Jan and we celebrate on 7 Jan at homes..

Now many of my friends still sends me Christmas greetings on the 24th of December & the 7th of January as well which actually revives my memory of those old days when I was celebrating on both 25 Dec & 7 Jan.. :) Great feeling to remember the old times & go back to them.. :) Thank you all my dear friends :))
