Homeschooling Through High School ~ Merry Christmas!
 Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
I want to share a couple of video clips which I located on YouTube...they are from a Public Television show that I have seen many Decembers over, titled, "Rick Steve's Christmas in Europe." These two clips share my favorite parts of the show. I love the peacefulness, the simplicity, and the picture of the family generations coming together. I hope you enjoy it, too!

Rick Steve's Christmas in Europe ~ Part 10
May God bless you and your families as you focus on the beauty of God's plan for His children, and all that "Emmanuel" means to you.

Cake decorating
Posted By
Rebecca
This year some friends I made christmas cakes. We each made a fruit cake that got together one day to ice and decorate them, it was so much fun. They all looked great all one of them we didn't get a photo of . The also so taste delicous.
It was really hard to get them perfect, but it was nice seeing them finished.
Happy Christmas to you~

Question
Posted By
Bonnet Girl
Hi!
We hav been quite busy lately! We have our friend from England coming to stay intil just after Christmas which is WONDERFUL!!!!
Does anybody know how to put a blog template from made for Blogger on Homeschoolblogger. There is a really nice template from www.thecutestblogontheblock.com but all the instructions are to Blogger users. I know you can get it on homeschoolblogger because I saw someone with the same template once in HSB. Does anybody know how to put it on? My friend (godsgirl-sararose.blogspot.com) and I tried doing many differnt things, but failed.
Also, could people please ask me if they would like to be my friend before adding me? Thanks.
I don't think there is anymore news!
Love Bonnetgirl |

Special Words for Special Needs ~ A Beautiful Christmas Project
Merry Christmas (very soon)!! It's time to talk about Christmas!
How do you run your homeschooling around Christmas? The season has plenty to do, but my kids demand structure. This time of year I tend to turn to my Christmas unit study. The art time in the afternoon will get turned into present making time or ornament making time. Though being Christmas time I search for more meaning in our days.
This time of year I also try to fit in outside service projects. In talking with a homeschooling mom recently she shared how they use this season to help train their children in service to others and keep it Jesus focused.
The day after Thanksgiving she and her family settle on a family that is in great need. They each give part of their Christmas gifts to feed and care for this family. Then a week before Christmas they drop this package off at the needy family's home.
You may say well there are groups out there that do that. Yes, there are. I would argue though that it is our duty as Christians to help others and what better way than just a simple exchange in love and covered in prayer. You show very clearly to your children that it IS better to give than to receive.
Thank you my friend for sharing that with me!
Think of a way you can share the love of Christ with others. What does your family do at Christmas to make Christ an active, real part?
I pray blessings to you and may your Christmas time be productive for the Lord!
Heather lives in West Virginia. She and her husband have been homeschooling their 5 children for 8 years. Due to a genetic disorder their children have multiple special needs.

Special Needs Children: Bring Them Home Where They Belong
Posted By
Gena Suarez, The Old Schoolhouse Magazine
More abusive teachers are in the news, this time two teachers tortured and abused several special needs children in their care--children who couldn't speak out about what was happening to them.
Parents, even your special needs children deserve to be at home where it is safe, and where you can be there to protect them. Homeschooling special needs children can be done!
Check out these resources to start:
You can find many more resources by searching online, and don't be afraid to ask questions! Trust is a huge thing for children with special needs. Your child trusts and needs you, not a person that neither you nor your child has never met before. You wouldn't just leave your child with strangers otherwise, why do so just because that stranger works for a public school?
