CHRISTMAS

Dear Readers,

I hope you had a Blessed and Merry Christmas, and I hope your New Year will be filled with joy, love, good health, peace and prosperity.

It's been a while since my last post, and I apologize.

Christmas is a beautiful time  of year. It's a time for celebrating Christ's birth, a time for spending quality time with family and friends, a time to visit the sick, a time for doing volunteer work, a time for giving and helping those less fortunate than us.

There are a deluge of books about Christmas in the library. Go there with your children and have them read to you, read silently, or let them have you read to them. What they don't understand, you can explain.

Singing Christmas carols, sleigh riding when there's snow, house and window decorations , are all joyous parts of Christmas.

And let's not forget Christmas songs like SILENT NIGHT,  O HOLY NIGHT, WHITE CHRISTMAS, O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL, HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS SING , THE FIRST NOEL, THE 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS, SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN, RUDOLPH, THE RED-NOSED REINDEER,  JINGLE BELLS, DECK THE HALLS, LITTLE DRUMMER BOY, O CHRISTMAS TREE, THE CHIPMUNK SONG AND ADESTE FIDELIS.

A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS MOVE MY WIFE AND I SAW ON T.V.
WAS----A DOG NAMED CHRISTMAS.  HAVE YOU SEEN IT? IT COMES ON A FEW TIMES. 

I'LL GIVE YOU A LISTING OF THE BEST CHRISTMAS BOOKS FOR YOUR CHILDREN TO READ NEXT WEEK, IN THE NEW YEAR.
