Max's Christmas Song

Chad went to choir practice last Sunday to practice some Christmas songs. (We trade off each week who gets to go, and this time it was his turn.) Max very seriously told me that he knows a Christmas song too. I said "oh, you do? Will you sing it for me?" This is Max's Christmas song...

I am a child of Christmas...mumble, mumble, mumble

Lead me, guide me, make me hot choc-o-late......

So sweet! I'm not sure I will ever be able to sing the words to "I Am A Child of God" without smiling...and maybe making a cup of hot chocolate!

Tate's Class Project

Dear Friends and Family,

Tate's class is doing a fun project for Christmas. They are reading The Gingerbread Boy, and will bake a gingerbread boy in class...but of course he will run away!

The teacher is asking that students friends and family send postcards from places they may live or travel, saying that they have spotted the gingerbread boy. The gingerbread boy will find his way back to the classroom during the month of December, so please send the postcards by the end of November.

Please mail the postcards to:

Willow Springs Elementary

I saw the Gingerbread Boy in the DC area. He said he wanted to see the sites and museums. I tried to catch him, but he was too fast. Good luck!

Thank you so much!
