We can hardly believe that Christmas is next week! We've managed to significantly cut the number of Christmas parties we will be hosting this year. We are down to six... a huge improvement over last year's marathon run of 13 parties! The first party will be tomorrow afternoon, so I've been busy getting ready... baking cookies, wrapping gifts for games and trying to pull together a game plan. Keep us in mind as we party away!
Speaking of Christmas, imagine our surprise earlier this week when we walked outside to find the streets of our university lined with Christmas trees! It feels quite festive, and this week, we've been talking about Christmas in my classes, and I even taught my freshmen students some songs. Pretty impressive singing if you ask me!
By the way, thanks to the family for sending the sprinkles. They made our Christmas cookies look especially seasonal! Our students will love it!
