Searching for Christmas in Korea

more to come as the search continues...

Here comes Santa Claus....

Today we sang Christmas carols in our classes! Yipee! Each class gets to choose one song to practice then perform on Christmas Eve. The mixed CD of the carols are sung by all the classics like Bing Crosby and Elvis. The students were horrified at the "old" sounding songs and kept making barfing signals and demanding me to switch to the next song....haha it was very funny! Too much Korean pop songs have corrupted their music tastes I suppose. But what was even more funny is that the one song that almost every student already knew was....can you guess?.....FELIZ NAVIDAD! Isn't that hilarious? They were shocked when I explained that Feliz Navidad was Spanish not English...I think it may have turned their worlds upside down.

Also, we now have a few decorated (fake) Christmas trees scattered around the school. Christmas trees + Christmas carols = Kelly's heart warmed
