Hello everyone!

Just 20 days till Christmas!  Can you believe it?  I can't!  I love this time of year and sometimes wish it could last all year.  I do wish for the beauty and love all year that I see at Christmas.  I just finished making some Christmas and Birthday jars for friends.  I sure hope they will like them.  I sure did enjoy making them.  I have a really cute book to share with you today.  A great teacher friend gave it to me along with three other ones for Christmas a few years ago and I got them out every year to read to my students.  So this year I am sharing them with you.  I hope you enjoy them.

Hurry Santa

by

Julie Sykes and Tim Warnes

 

 

It is Christmas Eve and Santa has overslept.  "Hurry Santa!" says his little mouse.  "You shouldn't be late tonight!"  First Santa puts both feet into one pants leg, and then he can't find the reindeer.  The reindeer are out in the woods playing games.  Finally, Santa and the reindeer fly off to deliver the presents for all the good little boys and girls all over the world.  Then the reindeer have a problem landing and the sleigh gets stuck in the snow and Santa and  the reindeer can't get it out.  Along comes a big horse and tries to help Santa and the reindeer.  They pull and pull and finally get the sleigh out.  All the animals tell Santa he must hurry before the sun comes up on Christmas Day. Santa and the reindeer finish delivering all the gifts to the boys and girls and head home to the North Pole.  Santa gets out his pack and finds a present.  He thinks he forgot to deliver it to someone but the animals say it is for him from all the animals.  Can you guess what Santa's present is?  Check out the book and share it with a young boy or girl and see their face light up as you read this delightful story about Santa and his reindeer on Christmas Eve.
