Today ist the last day of school this year and in three days is the shortest day of the year. During that day we have dayligth for aproximately four hours.
On the 12th of December our Santas started arriving from the mountains where the hide the most part of the year. They bring a small present for the good kids in their shoes and so far nobody has gotten a rotten potato.
Here in Island we either say that Christmas are red or white which means that there is no snow or snow. Depening on the weather forcast it looks like we will have red Christmas this year. Most people whish for white Christmas.
Guys! We wish you a Merry Christmas and all the best for the new year - The countdown to Poland starts on January 4th when the school starts again.

Hello Icelanders! Holidays are coming and we would like to wish you all Merry Christmas and a lot of love, health and peace. We hope none of you will get a potato in a shoe as a present, but we have to face the fact that some of you have been naughty this year  :D
As a reply to your post we gathered together too and had this picture taken next to the Christmas tree at our school, unfortunately Renata is missing - she got ill, thanks to the nasty winter weather! We didn't have snow up until today, mid-December, which is quite disappointing because its harder to get into the holiday mood. But what can remind us of snow better than Iceland. We are preparing an exhibition with our best pictures from your isle, and going through all of these photographs again brings up memories of the fun we had up there. We miss you guys! And the AWESOME time we had there ( 'awesome' being the word of the week back then). We keep in touch through facebook and msn but it's nothing compared to being able to talk to you in person.
Our teachers remind us that this project is not all about fun but also work and sharing knowledge about our countries. It's been a wonderful experience and we are looking forward to hearing more about Iceland during your stay in our homeland.

Merry Christmas!
