Holiday Wrap-Up

It was a pleasure to visit The Lounge last month. Speaking of gifts, I thought I might sign off with a question about holiday activities in law schools around the country. In my experience, every school has been a little different. One school did not permit decorations of any kind (in fact, I was “spoken to” about a stocking on my door), another had a nice holiday party where no gifts were exchanged, and I have heard of others who contribute to various charities instead of exchanging gifts. How is this handled at your school? If gifts are exchanged, what were some of your favorites? Again, thanks to everyone at The Lounge for a delightful time, and Happy Holidays!

Thanks for visiting us, Kelly. The thing I'm going to miss at our law school this Christmas is that my secretary used to hand-make all these great Christmas decorations and distribute them around the faculty floor. Unfortunately, she had to retire last year because of ill health so I guess it won't be quite as cheery on the second floor this year.

That sounds really special, and it reminds me of someone at Washburn who used to hand out homemade jam and baked goods before she retired. On a separate note, congrats to The Lounge for making the ABA Journal's "Top 100 Blawgs" list!
