Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas with their families. I went to midnight mass and then spent the day with my family and friends hanging out and eating and eating and eating haha. On Boxing Day I went to watch The Hobbit – Battle of the Five Armies and also Night at the Museum 3. I enjoyed both movies. I’m teaching on a limited schedule and will be back full time teaching Monday 5th January. I’ll squeeze in some shopping, beach time and more movies with family and friends in between, I wish you all a Happy and safe New Year.
