In fact, he sticks his foot in his mouth so often that he has Athlete's Tongue! He has a new episode each Wednesday that teaches some aspect of communication skills using humor. His episodes make a great mini communication lesson for your children. For the last two weeks FIMM has been teaching how NOT to buy CHRISTmas gifts for your loved ones. These episodes first aired last year but they were so popular that we are re running them this year!

 Kidology.org presents a great lesson about all the stuff that gets 'piled' on top of the true meaning of Christmas. This creative and fun lesson was originally presented by Pastor Richard P. Bucher at a Sunday School CHRISTmas party. "Everything in this pile," he informed them, "are things that remind us of Christmas and fill our hearts with happiness." But as they got to the bottom of the pile, they found what CHRISTmas is all about!

Your hair is getting so long! It's very pretty the way you have it styled. I didn't know you were from Jewish descent, very interesting! Do you also do Hanukkah too?
How did the concert go? Thanks for all the Christmas links, I'll be back to read them all..
