Christmas Pics

My exams for this semester lasted about two weeks - easily enough time for one to drive oneself mad, if cramming for subjects like torts and civil procedure was all one did (I say "all", but of course I was drinking quite a bit of coffee during that time as well, if that counts as an activity - and I think it does). Fortunately, during that two-week period we actually managed to do a few normal things, like see some friends, do a bit of Christmas shopping, and watch Ugly Betty.

One night we took some hot chocolate over to the SMU campus and walked around for a while, taking pictures and admiring the lights my tuition money had contributed with putting up. It was definitely a fun time - and a good break from studying. Here are a few pictures.







After we left campus, we drove around some of the neighborhoods around Highland Park to see how they do Christmas lights around here. We were not disappointed. In fact, we saw some truly amazing productions. One home, built on at least several lots, had wrapped all its trees in lights (green on the bottom, white on the top), had installed giant Christmas jack-in-the-boxes in the front yard, and was played New Orleans jazz Christmas music on loud speakers. It was both really cool and sort of hard to believe (but in a merry sort of way I think).

It was a good time.
