Nov. 26, 2005 - Christmas Unit Ideas...

From my Konos List, put here so I don't have to go hunting again.  I'm thinking that this year we may try to do the "Jesse Tree" and reseach Jesus' ancestors.  I'm also looking at low cost hand made gifts for the family ~ as moving has really drained us dry!    I know when we used to live in ahouse many many years ago, the kids really enjoyed making soaps and homemade cookies and gifts for people.  Now all the kids are plenty old enough to help ~ so I'll see what we come up with!
