Bonjour tout le monde !

La Fête des lumières à Lyon
Une des manifestations les plus célèbres de la période de Noël en France, c'est la Fête des lumières à Lyon, mais en réalité elle n'a aucun rapport avec Noël, à part la proximité de sa date, le 8 décembre.

Indefinite Adverbs ~ Adverbes indéfinis
I've never seen this covered in French grammar books, but I think French indefinite adverbs, or at least the French equivalents for English indefinite adverbs, are interesting and very useful.

French quiz: To Be - Être, Avoir, or Faire
Even though être is the French equivalent of "to be," there are certain French expressions in which you have to use avoir or faire instead. See how well you know how "to be" with this quiz, or take a look at the lesson to review.

From Beverly Hernandez, your Guide to Homeschooling
The 2011 Coloring Calendars are up. Check out the Christmas Treasure Bottles. The red sand really spiffs it up.

Advent Calendar - Show off your projects

Christmas time is a busy time for homeschoolers, but a fun time to do projects and baking with our children. Show off your recipes and projects from the Advent Calendar or any Christmas projects you do together.

My granddaughter made the Treasure Bottle with red sand and Christmas themed treasures inside. These are fun and easy for the kids to make. They make a nice gift or party favor. If you make the Graham Cracker Gingerbread House or any other project, take a picture and show it off.

About Today: The Best of 2010: Blogs, Business Ideas, and More

If you can't see this email, click here

About.com


From Jen Hubley, your About Today Editor
Another reason I love the end of the year: One bazillion articles on the best and worst of the previous 11 months. For our first issue on the best and worst of what was this year, we'll look at things that make you go faster: the internet, business ideas, and phones faster than yelling out the window at your neighbor.

10 Top Blogs of 2010
The real reason I love top 10 lists: They give us so much scope for argument. These are the most popular blogs by traffic, but do you think they deserve it?
See More About:  popular blogs  finding blogs 

Best Business Ideas of 2010
These 47 ideas for starting small businesses are broken up into categories for easy scanning - from low-cost to green to pet-based ideas.

Career Lessons Learned in 2010
2010 wasn't exactly a banner year for most people's careers, but we did learn plenty of lessons, such as how to quit your job. (Hint: Deploying the inflatable slide and helping yourself to a few beers on the way out isn't the best plan.)

The 10 Best Smartphones of 2010
This was the year when I finally broke down and bought a smartphone, and if my friends are any indication of trend, you probably did too. These phones are the best of the best on offer this year.

From Jen Hubley, your About Today Editor
Hanukkah is so early this year, you can probably surprise your friends by wishing them a happy holiday, and they'll have no idea what you're talking about. Which means that you'll be an extra good friend by reminding them that they can celebrate. Everyone loves an unexpected holiday.

Hanukkah Food Traditions
If you're cooking, however, I hope you remembered that today was Hanukkah sooner rather than later. In any event, I hope you made me some latkes.

Hanukkah: Menu and Recipes
My favorite thing about Hanukkah is that you have an excuse to eat fried food. For example, these donuts.
