It`s the end of the year & everyone is busy, but last Saturday we could forget about work & relax at our school Christmas party in Gifu. Everyone looks happy in this photo, right? Some people are holding their presents from 'secret santa'. Hang on (=ちょっと待って)... in the background someone isn`t looking at the camera... he`s drinking beer... I wonder who it is? Does anyone know? Haha. Merry Christmas!

Grammar
- Does/Is (NOT Do/Are) + anyone/someone/everyone...?
- Everyone/Someone/No-one + is / 動詞s (NOT are / 動詞)

Kids Halloween Party

About 100 kids came to our Halloween party. Teragoya teachers & staff prepared various games & activities for them. For my activity, kids had to stick black felt mouth, nose, eyes, & plastic insects on an orange felt pumpkin face. Then we took a photo together. It was fun & interesting - each face was different & original.

It was a warm day, so I was getting a bit sticky in my Donald Trump costume, but fortunately the fake (偽物) hair & eyebrows I`d stuck on didn`t fall off.

Vocabulary:
- stick 動詞 (stuck 過去動詞 ) = 貼る / 付く
- sticky 形容詞 = べたべた
- sticker = シール (Be careful: In English, 'seal' = 封 / 印, so, "The teacher gave each student a sticker (NOT seal)."
