With
the festive season in full swing at all the Country Clubs, it can be an
exhausting time, mentally and emotionally, but also a very exciting time with
lots of fun events taking place at the Country Clubs. I am enjoying
experiencing all of the holiday activities taking place at Boca West Country
Club…from the beautiful Christmas dinner, Character breakfast, S’mores night
and the famous Boca West Carnival and Street Fair. Boca West Country Club
really does go above and beyond to entertain the members and their families
over the holidays.
Although
my work hours are fairly consistent working office hours, I have friends who
work in banquets who are working 13 hour shifts with maybe a just few hours of
sleep between shifts and they are exhausted! I just keep telling them to think
about the end reward…their paycheck and how it will all be worth it when that
time comes.
For
many first time Workaway participants it may also be an emotional time if it is
your first time away from home during the Christmas period…I also still miss my
family on Christmas day, especially when they send me photos of their whole Christmas
setup…or maybe it’s the food I miss – gammon, malva pudding and mince pies are
my three South African Christmas time weaknesses! This year in our apartment complex
in Boca we celebrated on Christmas eve with a delicious homemade pasta dish
made by one of my Italian friends followed by a taste from home – malva pudding
made by a South African friend…it was delicious and it was great to spend time
with good friends who make you forget that you are so far from home and remind
you that we are lucky to be here in the USA, celebrating together.
