Let it Snow

Not that I can do anything to stop it from snowing :)

But really, it has been snowing tons here! And it's the talk of the town, or should I say country. It's all that's in the news and it's all anyone talks about anymore it seems. The kids in my class are saying that I brought the snow with me because they've never seen this much before! I told them I did the secret Sierra Valley Snow Dance. The other night on the news they interviewed an old man who claimed that he hadn't seen a winter like this since 1978! So it's definitely a big deal here. More proof of that is that hardly any of the public transportation is functioning, the buses have been running inconsistently due to road conditions and today I was going to go into Charleroi with a friend but her train was cancelled due to ice on the rails! However, there is an upside to all the mayhem, it's going to be a white Christmas after all! :D

Well since I am still lacking the motivation/inspiration to blog I'll just upload some pictures from this month :)


This is the view from my bedroom window, look at all the snow! :P


Our quaint little Christmas tree :)


This is a "buche de noel" it's a tradition here :) I made it in my cooking class, it's a cake!


Last but not least, I got to sit on St. Nicola's lap! The black boy next to him is Perfetta (I'm not sure about the spelling) and while St. Nicola gives candy to the good kids Perfetta hits the bad ones! Nothing wrong with traditions but it seems a little racist to me.

Anyways, Merry Christmas, Joyeuse Fetes! <3
