Well, the Shakespeare family in Bloomington, Indiana (who, full disclosure, are the parents of my good friend and colleague Rebecca) has a lovely tradition of inviting Indiana University international students over to share in their Christmas holiday as well.

Chun Guo, who studies information science at IU, very kindly volunteered to tell us about it. Marie Shakespeare sent over the pictures.
