Christmas has arrived to Poitiers!

The city of Poitiers has been putting up Christmas decorations all over town, especially in the historic center which is where I live, for several weeks now...I've been waiting and waiting for the holiday lights to light up and it finally happened yesterday...It's just lovely...Besides gorgeous decorations and really pretty lights that look like fireworks fading into the trees, they have set up an ice skating rink in front of the city hall and little wooden booths that look like little houses surround the square...Inside each 'house' there is a vendor offering everything from African crafts to crepes to handmade sweaters and scarves...The weather is deliciously crisp, the kind that makes you want to hold hands...

Today I finished a big project for one of my classes and as a reward I went downtown to get lost in the holiday spirit...Here's a 15 second video, pay attention to how the lights move in the trees, ignore how shaky the video is!!! I guess it was colder than I thought because my hand is shaking a lot!

Thinking of all of you this season and sending you my love!!!
