My, Jason’s feeling pretty fluffy and warm hearted, isn’t he? Oh, WAIT! No! One of my students (Ami, 13 years old) wanted to play on the iPad instead of actually learning anything. Seeing as I was 40 minutes away from being on vacation, that sounded like a downright good idea to me!<\/p>\n

What’d Jason come up with for his daily foray into picture-ing?<\/p>\n

\n{{popup 12-24-2010.jpg 12-24-2010 400×300}}My interpretation of Christmas<\/A><\/center><\/p>\n

Apparently I wasn’t feeling so chipper. But hey.. ignore that! It’s CHRISTMAS<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Let me state that again just to make sure the full implication sinks in: IT’S CHRISTMAS<\/i><\/b>. Dunno why, but I do rather like Christmas. A lot. So, we’re gonna let that “Christmas” feeling kinda soak for awhile before I get around to actually having to study and work for the rest of my vacation. But hey: we got a day of cake-making, going out to lunch, and general merriment.<\/p>\n

The only downside is the whole “when do I open presents” thing. I mean, when you live alone, you can technically do it at midnight. Or you could do the wake up at 6am, drink cocoa and tear open presents. But it all feels kinda weird when it’s just me, myself, and I. Personally, I like to put it off as long as possible. As soon as the presents are opened, Christmas is done.<\/p>\n

So anyway, I’m just rambling (it’s late!). Enjoy the pictures, enjoy your Christmas and I will see you all later!<\/p>\n

Oh yes, and next time I see you, I will have pictures of cake. My diorama cake. HAHAHA!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
