Laulaaaaaaaa.

Oh my goodness, so today was the big performance of the Sankta Lucia choir ! It was soooo great. We dressed up in Angel's robes and carried candles, and sounded really great. It was so cool. I have it on tape, but its on Annina's camera, so I have to wait until I can get it from her. Then, during the "christmas assembly" there were different skits and presentations and such. Belly dancers, the ghost of christmas past play, a band, etc. Andddd Annina and I sung three duets, Joulumaa, a finnish song about "christmas land", which went really well I think. Its a very pretty song, if you understand what its about....Then we sang Frosty the Snowman, once in Finnish, Hei Kuura Parta, but the words were so tiny on the paper and the lighting wasn't so good that I kind of botched it....but then we sang it in english too, and that one went a bit better :) Then at the end, Annina and I sang White Christmas, Valkea Joulu, once in finnish and then in english, and it was really pretty, and everyone clapped and yeah, it was so much funnnn. Then after the assembly was over the Sankta Lucia [Saint Lucy] choir walked down to the Library in town and sang on the stairs of that. We sang three songs, Sankta Lucia [its a swedish songs ! so we sang it in swedish !], then "Kuului Laulu" or Angels we have heard on high. In finnish, and then a traditional finnish song called "Heinilä Harkien Kaukalon". It was a very nice day :D I really do like singing, I guess I just didn't do it that often back home...hm. Tomorrow my family and I are going Christmas tree hunting ! And then that night I'm talknig with my real familyyyy, I'm so excited ! On sunday I'm meeting Annina and Piia downtown and we're going christmas shopping and then to church ! Next week is test week, so that means almost no school for me. And then we get out for Christmas break ! I'm possibly going to Helsinki with Annina for new years to visit her cousins, but I'm not really sure....And that is all of my news for now ! I'm sending out christmas cards on monday, they shoulddd get there by christmas, but if not, I'm sorry ! Hope you all have a wonderful weeekend ! Hyvää Joulua ! [merry christmas !]
