12 Days 'Till Christmas!
It's December 13, and you know what that means: Christmas is twelve short days away! I've been counting down for about three months, but now that we're under the two-week mark, I think it's finally acceptable to post a few festive pictures.
Last month I was lucky enough to attend the ALAN conference in Orlando. It was a great time with some amazing readers and teachers from all over the country. My husband was able to come with me, so we headed down a few days early to hit Disney World. I hadn't been in over ten years and he hadn't been in twice as long—since before Epcot, which had always boggled my mind. I mean, can you imagine a world WITHOUT Epcot??
Anyway, we were excited to go, and even more excited when friends told us about Mickey's Merry Christmas Party. Apparently, this is an annual affair that takes place in the Magic Kingdom on select nights in November and December. This year, one of the nights just happened to be during our visit, so we bought tickets.
And it was probably the merriest Christmas party I've ever been to! There were decorations and carolers and fireworks and endless hot cocoa and sugar cookies. Cinderella's castle was covered in sparkling white lights. A parade featuring Mickey, Minnie, other characters, AND Santa wound through the quaint streets. And perhaps the best part? The park closed early to non-ticket holders, which meant no waiting on insane lines! We hit every ride in about a tenth the time it'd normally take.
Here are a few shots of the fun.
Hope you're enjoying your own pre-Christmas festivities!

Wednesday Words
I hope to share the Undercurrent cover with you soon, but until then, here's a mini excerpt from chapter 1!
My chest and skin were on fire. I couldn’t feel my legs. It took every bit of strength I had left to turn on the water and pry the lid off the plastic container.
And just because pictures are fun, here's how the sequel will look in Germany:
I think it's as gorgeous as the first and hope my German readers like it, too!
More to come!
