18th December 2009
Walking into the office this morning had an utterly different feel to it…presents were scattered all over, food was being brought out of boxes, and everyone wore extra-nice outfits. After spending a big chunk of 2009 working hard on a number of new projects, including quite a lot of online material which I’ve discussed with you in the past weeks, the last and much-awaited-for scholastic day is finally here!
One of the highlights at Elanguest at this time of the year (apart from the Christmas party) is the Secret Santa activity which has now been running for a couple of years. Everyone should turn up at 12.30pm and that is when the party should start. As you can probably tell…we’re all looking very forward to that hour! 
On the other hand, one must keep in mind that Christmas is not all about presents, parties and fun. At this time of the year we should also think of those who will not be with us to celebrate this special feast…friends or family members who are working in different countries far away; or special people who passed away…
However, I really do not want to end the last blog of 2009 on a gloomy note, so I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have made this year as successful as it has been…starting with my bosses David and Ursula West, all my colleagues in the office, all my other colleagues who make sure that the school premises are always spick and span, all the teachers, and of course, all the students who have written yet another chapter in the story of Elanguest
On behalf of everyone I want to wish all of you and your families and very merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year 2010. All the best to all! God bless!
