The first photo is a snowman ornament my mum sent to me. The second is a photo of me and most of my second graders. Aren't they cute? Even when they look annoyed, they are cute-that's just what kids are like. When they are annoying, as opposed to annoyed, that's another matter, but.....the third is a shot that I took in Seoul, I think that must be the headquarters for Shinhae Bank. It's about as Christmassy as things get here. Christmas is not a big deal, and the lack of commercialism is refreshing, but the lack of being able to find suitable gifts for those I want to give something to is annoying. Pardon my overuse of the word today. Anyway, I needed another potholdery thing, so I knit one. Simple boring 3X rib that I switched every 11 rows, for a total of three times. I cheated terribly on the handle so I could hang it behind the snowman.
It is nice to be on vacation, though the books for immersion camp sit over in a corner. I won't be able to ignore them entirely. But for now I shall certainly try. And I shall certainly sleep in to a shameful hour-but do so shamelessly!

Oh your class is so cute!!! and I love the snowman! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS for sleeping in!!!!
I hope you're sleeping sweetly and soundly and thoroughly enjoying your vaca. I'm totally jealous of 3 weeks off. Wonder if I could take a 3 week mental vaca? Would anyone notice? Your kids are terribly cute, and they do look like they could be cutely terrible! You look GREAT, Mal! Glad you're posting and calling, and writing....got your Christmas card yesterday. Loved it! Looking forward to talking to you tomorrow!...and it's cool to see Kate writing to you, too!...
Merry Christmas and a Very happy 2007, Mallory
