My name is Karenne Sylvester and I've been teaching for around 14 years - all over the world - however these days I run a website and blog called Kalinago English.
December in Ireland and Scotland is time of short days, long nights, rain, wind, snow, sleet, and the occasional clear day with sparlikng sun or frosty night filled with an extravagance of stars.
I've recently read a wonderful e-book that helped me to truly THINK about the upcoming holidays, as well as redirect my energies toward more meaningful activities. The book? A Mindful Christmas, by Barbara Kilikevicius.
