The first official day of 'break,' the Monday before Christmas, was awesome. At lunchtime, mom and I walked to the V&A, where we met dad for a splendid Christmas lunch: pate with fancy toast, pumpkin soup, turkey, potatoes, Brussels sprouts, gingerbread with vanilla sauce, and a brownie with pudding! By the end we were all stuffed like the bags on Santa's sleigh. Next, mom and I looked all over the museum; we saw so much, I can't even remember, but I do remember particularly iron and glass works, which were fascinating.

Then we went to the Staff pantomime ('Panto'), a Christmas-time play with funny jokes traditionally performed for children. It was based on Sleeping Beauty and had funny songs and words.
Next we went to the V&A staff Christmas party. They handed out little sandwiches, mini fish & chips, sausages with mashed potatoes, fancy nachos, and, for dessert: a brownie. We danced and talked the whole time. It was swell!
