Hello everyone!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I know I enjoyed the holiday with family and friends.  I can't believe though that there are only 22 days till Christmas.  I love this time of year so much.  Everyone is in good spirits and I love watching Christmas movies and reading good Christmas books.  I hope you will enjoy the one for today.  It is a good book for young children K-2 grade I would think.  A really cute story.  Please share it with a young child this Christmas season if you get a chance.

The Crunchy, Munchy Christmas Tree

by

Harry and Emily are looking for a tree to take to their grandparents' house for Christmas.  They finally find one that they think will work.  They get everything ready to go to grandma and grandpa's and it starts to snow.  It snows and snows  and dad says that they can't go in the blizzard.  Harry and Emily are upset since they can't get to grandpa and grandma's to give them their tree and of course Santa doesn't know where they are.  Finally, they decide to decorate the tree in the front yard with cranberries and popcorn.  They have a fun time decorating the tree.  Then they see some deer in the front yard and think that Santa is coming. The next morning Harry and Emily wake up and the snow has stopped.  They ask their dad if they can go to grandma and grandpa's.  Dad says they have to wait for the snowplow.  Harry and Emily look out the window and there are two big packages.  They run out and find that Santa left each of them a gift.  Check out this cute book at the library or your nearest bookstore to find out the ending.  It is a cute book.
