Christmas is Coming

(First of all, a note. I have a lot of pictures of myself on this blog. This is not an ego thing, I was just told by my family that they like seeing pictures of me, and I always like seeing pictures of the authors of the blogs I read, so I just want to make the reader(s) happy!)
I'm inching towards some Christmas spirit, but it's largely overshadowed by panic. I'm leaving for Turkey in less than ten days. I think I can get everything done, but it's going to be a tight fit! Besides oral presentations and an intimidating "Best Practices in Teaching Grammar" paper, I have Christmas lunches and dinners, Carole's shopping list, a to-knit list and, of course, I need to travel plan for Sweden and Denmark (I got the guidebooks out of the library, now I just have to figure out how many castles and museums we can fit into a limited number of days!) Yesterday I got tickets for Carole and I to see the nötknäppare in Stockholm (any guesses as to what that is? Clue: it's a ballet!) Anyway, I think I better get back to reading. Here are some pictures from the other night.My friend, Amy (also in the TESL MEd program) and her family took me to the Bright Nights outdoor lights festival. We walked around a park full of whimsical light displays.
