I'm interested in the "christmas lights for violin case." Care to post a picture of the finished product? I assume these are plug-in lights?

I will! They're actually have a little battery pack, and I've had them for a few years now, and always forget to get them out in time for the holidays. This year, I resolve to be prepared.

Lists like this really give one the sense of what is most important to you - what is closest to your heart. I'm just curious - why pack a bread recipe?

Well, I joined a coop for this semester, so I knew I'd have access to some baking supplies, which meant I could make bread, just about one of the only things I enjoy doing in the kitchen.

Where do you dance the Nutcracker? I was under the impression that Oberlin does not have many ballerinas.

It's true that there isn't a huge ballet community at Oberlin, but there are places to take classes in town and a small but dedicated group of students has also put together informal ballet classes.
You can read a little bit more about the ballet/Nutcracker thing here.
