“May all your troubles last as long as your New Year's resolutions.”
-Joey Adams

Happy holidays cutie pies! Isn’t it a lovely day today? If you are wondering if I was drinking to be in this enthusiastic state, the answer is no, I wasn’t. Yet. I am just over the moon because I am on vacation! I mean, compared to the three months I get each summer, these two weeks may seem meaningless, but they are actually a blessing.

I may be on the verge of becoming religious since I’ve experienced a true Christmas miracle: not a single one of my teachers sent us homework. None. Not even my Portuguese teacher!! And there are only two possible explanations: either he has early onset Alzheimer’s and forgot or God Himself felt sorry for all of us and made sure we had no homework.

            But either waaaay, these holidays are already getting better. Christmas is that magical time of year when we can give in to our materialistic cravings and not feel guilty about it. Besides, don’t forget about all the food! This year I plan to eat my way through the holidays, I’ll deal with the guilt and the extra 17kg later. I can even put it in my list of New Year’s resolutions. I already wrote it, and here it is:

1.      Find a cure for the New Year’s party hangover.

2.      Loose the holiday’s gained wait.

3.      Don’t be such an idiot.

4.      Get my driver’s license.

And the first goal of my list leads me to my next topic: New Years Réveillon! If Christmas is a family holiday, then New Year is every liver’s worst nightmare. You know what they say: brand new year, brand new life hangover. I haven’t figured out what are exactly my plans. At first I was torn between Las Vegas (What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, isn’t it right, Prince Harry?), and renting a private jet (What’s classier than a party in the sky?), but then I remembered: Oh wait, I’m NOT a billionaire. So I’ll probably just go out with my friends, better than nothing.

            This is it for today, if you, unlike me, are a billionaire and own a private jet, I’m open to invitations and would be more than happy to delight you with my witty remarks. I’ll see you next year, happy holidays everyone.
