More Holidays

We had a fun Thanksgiving with the Muggles, and now it's time to get ready for Christmas. It's another thing that's much harder without magic - but we're trying to make things look as enchanted as possible, without giving anything away.

Thanksgiving

Wow, time's going by fast. We're about to head off for Thanksgiving with the Muggle family. This means no Quidditch for awhile - instead, they watch "football," a popular Muggle sport. It looks much more dangerous than Quidditch, but they seem to like it.

I've been unlucky here at home. I was making something for my friend from Pride of Portree - and I made two left mittens! My Transfiguration spells don't seem to be up to fixing one magically, and it doesn't seem right to ask her to switch one of her hands, even if it would help our side in the Quidditch matches. So I guess I'm going to have to start over and knit a new one. It's a good thing I bought plenty of yarn.

The Headmistress's Travels

It seems that this week our beloved Winnie is in North America. She started in Mexico City, then headed to Chile, and Brazil. I'm still not sure what she's doing, but I hope she's having fun!
