Let it Snow



Christmas coming
And in the last class of the year, accompanied of Christmas Pudding, wild jam, turkey and some Mince Pies, a "mind the gaps" exercise

(in italic, the words) 

Let It Snow – Michael BublĂ©


Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

It doesn't show signs of stopping

And I've brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

When we finally kiss goodnight
How I hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

The fire is slowly dying
And my dear we're still goodbye-ing
As long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Oh, it doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've brought some corn for popping
and the lights are turned way down low
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
OH... let it snow

All the way home I'll be warm
All the way home I'll be warm

The fire is slowly dying
And my dear I'm still goodbye-ing
As long you love me so
Let it snow, Let it Snow, Let it snow
Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow
Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow

And the Disney version wich remembers me, my childhood with my sister, watching Chistmas cartoons

On The Road - Jack Kerouac

 

     On The Road is a book which tells Sal Paradise's story traveling across the USA. He enjoyed a really eventful trip with Dean Moriarty, a strange and mad guy, and with a lot of eccentric friends.
     Around the late 1940s it was common for rich people who wanted their cars to be driven long distances to look for drivers. There were people who were going to the same destination but didn't have the money for plane, bus, or train tickets. The drivers then found passengers to share the cost of the gas. This gave a lot of young people, like Sal and Dean, the opportunity to travel.
     The narrative is really direct, quick and dynamic like a travel notebook. He changes from one city to another in two phases. Sometimes you can be confused. However, it is a delicious story to read.
     "I drove through South Carolina and beyond Macon, Georgia, while Dean, Marylou and Ed slept. All alone at night I had my own thoughts. "What am I doing? Where am I going?" I got very tired after Macon, and I woke Dean. We got out of the car for air, and suddenly we could smell grass and feel warm air on our faces. "We're in the South!" said Dean, laughing. "We left the winter behind!"
