So this is Christmas, and what have I done? It's certainly kind of strange being somewhere that is warm, when I associate this time of year with the cold and snow (I do kind of like that there are Christmas lights around the palm trees in town). It's harder to get in the spirit, but there are lots of festivities which certainly helps.
The month started off with the Pantomime put on by BMDS. The show went for 2 weeks at city hall and was 100% sold-out. I helped paint the set, and worked 2 nights backstage on wardrobe. My job was to put the tree costume on someone a few times – very important work!
Our work Christmas party was a full day thing. We were told to expect not to work all day and not to show up until 10. About 11 we started things off by playing board games and drinking mamosas (champagne and OJ). This was followed by a late lunch at Harry's and then heading back to the office to do the secret santa gift exchange. After all this, some of us thought it would be a great idea to head to the bar downstairs for 'one' more. Famous last words.
I'll be going back to Canada on the 24th, but there are quite a few people I know staying here. Flights over this time fill-up fast and can cost quite a bit more. I'll enjoy being with family over the holidays, but I have to admit that it would be fun to stay. Apparently in the morning, everyone goes down to Elbow Beach wearing Santa hats and drinks champagne.
Maybe next year I'll do Christmas on the beach.
