I cannot believe it is already time for Christmas! We had a great Thanksgiving meal, and I did get grouchy during clean-up. Sorry, family of mine. Holiday's tend to stress me out. So much pressure to have things go great, for the food to taste great and so on. I need to chill out, and I AM doing better. At least I hope I am.....
Anyway, November flew by, didn't it?? I was looking at the calendar and we have 3 weeks of school before we take time off for Christmas Break. Lots to do. But, I do need to be realistic about what I want to accomplish in the next three weeks. I want to read a book out loud to the kids but have yet to decide which one....any ideas? A good Christmas book you love?
I am looking forward to having a break for the Christmas Season. I have tons of scrapbooking to catch up on. Well at least work on. I don't think I'll ever get caught up. Completely! I am also making Birthday Cards again this year for the entire Relief Society in my ward. I love doing it! It MAKES me be crafty and create and I love that. It is so good for me. It is my therapy. That and eating chocolate. And drinking a certain carbonated beverage. ;)
Onward and upward......

I'm reading "A Christmas Carol" aloud to my kids. I thought it was a much longer book so I started reading to them about two weeks ago and we're all ready half-way through! It's a little difficult to understand as far as the language and culture is concerned, but with a little commentary from me, my kids are getting the gist of it and have been asking me to read it to them (we've been reading it on Sundays). Anyway, it's a great book and definitely perfect for the Christmas season!
A Return to Christmas or I believe it's called a Christmas Wish. Original versions not the ones rewrote after they became movies. I'll get the authors to you and if you can't find them you can borrow them.
I always loved The Secret Garden. Not sure how Christmasy it is, but Hallmark always played it at Christmas!!! I hear you on how fast time is going.....what on Earth? It will come and go before we know it!!!
One of our favorites is the Wisemen of Bountiful :)
