During the holidays at ASB, traditionally, each staff member gets a lote - a box filled with wine, cava, and turron. It´s a fantastic gift! However, this year we had a holiday party instead. And it was amazing! There were about 80 people who came, ranging from teachers to administration to kitchen staff to security guards. Pica-pica and an open bar meant everyone was having a good time. :) I was quickly reminded just how much I enjoy the people I work with and how much I love Spanish culture. Everyone is just so affectionate - giving dos besos, putting an arm around your shoulders, etc. I love this - it´s so different than American culture.
The dance party started early - Gangnam style, salsa, and dance-offs were happening everywhere. It was just so fun to see everyone dressed up a bit and having fun together. I´ll take a holiday party over a gift any day!
Estoy de acuerdo!!
