Winter Break has begun!

The dormitories are empty, the quad is quiet and the
dining hall is closed!

Dublin School is on Winter Break!

Last night we attended our Head's Christmas party, and
I made a vegetable curry pizza. It was quite good, but
the best part was the 2-3 trays of sushi on the table
along with some dim sum from Boston.

We're putting together our plans for Christmas and
we're hoping to attend a Christmas Eve service at
the Dublin town church to sing carols and hear what
is largely a non-denominational sermon.

Anyone who knows me well will be quite surprised that
Erin is going to get me inside a church, but it's a New England
tradition and the church is beautiful.

I didn't know this, but apparently Christmas has a
religious origin and it's not just about giving and
receiving gifts. Who knew? We're learning
all kinds of crazy things in New England.

Maybe I'll bust out a dreidel and some
matzoh ball soup in the pew.

(And who knows? There might be cookies and cider.)

You can check out a webcam of the town square,and
the church on this site:
