it's that time...christmas time is here! the tree is trimmed, the stockings have been set out, the radio has been tuned to the 24 hour christmas music station, and we've been to the mall several nights 'til 11pm. my parents will be here thursday night and the celebration will officially begin. the 1st grade winter party will be held friday morning. doesn't it sound exciting to go to a winter party? we are a diverse school, therefore we celebrate winter and leave out the holiday and religious aspects. one of our 1st grade friends said (about another little girl) "i think she celebrates something that starts with a d, and she worships a god named abbah". isn't that cute? we are all learning lots of new things about other cultures and religions. our little sweetheart has been bringing home books on hanukkah and knows how to pronounce all the words. she's also asking santa for a dreidel. i'm not sure how that works, exactly.
also on the celebration agenda is a christmas eve gathering at our home with the traditional soup, breadsticks and chocolate fondue. to quote rachel ray: "YUM-O!" we will also be holding the annual nativity dress-up. one year we had two 3 yr old Mary's, and a spotted dog!
we're looking forward to this year's lineup and it's getting closer everyday.

Yay! My prayers have been answered! I'm delighted you are starting a blog. We celebrate winter here with our own religion. We are a bit pius, but we know our state is true. No scraping cars, no crawling along icy streets, no dried out heaters blowing hot air... of course there are no snow angels here. Love your guts! christi
