Find a Christmas Q

In a book by Mary Engelbreit
Anne Estelle has written a super long wish list and
calls herself the _ _ _ _ _ of Christmas!

But if you must know, my wish list
(aka my "to-do-before-Christmas" list)
is way longer than Anne Estelle's list.

real _ _ _ _ _ of Christmas!

What do snowman at Christmas do at night?

"The snow children play
Freeze tag or Red Rover,
Or climb in a stack
'Til they wobble right over.

The mothers lay out
All kinds of cold treats:
_ _ _ cream and snow cones
And dainty _ _ _ _ sweets.

Look in Brody's Christmas book to read
today's word-of-the-day . . .

"Every Who
Down in Who-ville
Liked Christmas a lot . . .
But the Grinch,
Who lived just north of Who-ville,
Did NOT!

The Grinch hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season!
Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason.
It could be his head wasn't screwed on just right.
It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight.
But I think that the most likely reason of all
May have been that his _ _ _ _ _ was two sizes too small.

Gloomy Mr. Jonathan Toomey was a

who became a much happier man after he created
a nativity set for the widow McDowell and her son, Thomas.

If you don't have this book and can't figure out the
word-of-the-day, maybe you will need to visit me
and read my copy of this great Christmas book.

One of my favorite Christmas books is an alphabet book!
(Big surprise, huh?) Look on the page after
"T is for tinsel that hangs from the tree . . ."
and before the page
"V is for village with windows aglow . . ."

to find the letter that is for
"_ _ _ _ _ _ and aunts at the door,
Bringing kisses and cousins and presents galore."

Does this look familiar?
Well, it should because you all made this nativity set for me
last Christmas. Pieces of it were on this very blog during
last December along with words of "The Nativity Song".
So sing that song to find the word-of-today!

"This is the season beloved of the year,
Sing a rhyme; Christmas time soon will be here.
Tell the true story of Jesus' birth,

When as a baby, he came to the _ _ _ _ _."
Happy Singing!

Welcome to the Amazing Merry Christmas (not summer)

Reading Race and Candy Countdown!

Just like last summer, I challenge you to read (or sing)

something for every letter of the alphabet. Each day until

Christmas I will give you a clue to a word you can find

in one of your Christmas picture books. Once you read the

story or sing the song, write the word on a sticker and place

it on your countdown container. Then instead of waiting until

the end of summer for a silly candy trophy, you can pick a

sweet treat out of your countdown container!

So on this first day of December, your first assignment is to

gather together all the Christmas books your family owns.

Read your favorite story or sing a song about a man in a

big red suit who has several different names.

One song can be found on page 129 of a red

Mary Engelbreit book called "Believe Christmas Treasury"

"Jolly Old St. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

lean your ear this way!

Don't you tell a single soul

what I'm going to say;

Christmas Eve is coming soon;

now you dear old man,

Whisper what you'll bring to me;

tell me if you can."
