Throughout December of seventh grade, my French teacher swigged from a flask filled with a holiday concoction that she alluded to only in the vaguest terms of her native tongue, introducing it as her "happy beverage." It was this terrifying Parisian ? known for throwing staplers at students who mispronounced her favorite vocabulary words ? who, while lecturing on French Christmas customs, made me realize how the eccentric charm of all family holiday traditions gets lost in translation.She addressed the class in French: "We place the shoes of the children in front of the family hearth for the father of Christmas to find and replenish with goodies," she said.

Shakespearean comedy has never struck me as particularly funny. Maybe I just have an uncultured sense of humor, but to me, it's so exhausting keeping track of all the men disguised as women who fall in love with other women (and vice versa) that it's difficult to concentrate on anything else.Thus, part of me was dreading Princeton Shakespeare Company's production of "Twelfth Night"; I pictured an evening full of absurd situations with people running in and out of doors at exactly the wrong time, over and over (and over) again, until they finally all manage to get together in the end, realize the mistakes they'd made throughout the show, two people would kiss, and we'd leave.
