Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays

I hope that everyone is enjoying their break and the countdown to Christmas.  I have loaded up my sleigh and am up with my family.  Again, I want to thank everyone for their generous outpouring to help make our party a good one.  Nearly every student donated something, and we had plenty of variety.  The students seemed to have a lot of fun.  Did they talk to you about our Gift of the Magi comparison?  We watched a traditional telling and compared that to the Sesame Street version starring Bert and Ernie.  I was a bit nervous that the class would think themselves too big for Sesame Street, but they loved it.  It is one of my favorite Christmas specials each year!

What are your plans for Christmas?  Leave a comment sharing what you are doing and what your favorite present is!

PS:  Don't forget to save those wrapping paper tubes!  Also, I have tried and tried to post the carols our class rewrote, but I am having trouble getting blogspot to accept and upload the new files.  I have not given up, but I am getting discouraged!

Merry Christmas everyone!!
