Right now I am reading Jeffery Deaver's
The Twelfth Card. I love Deaver; he's creepy. He wrote
The Bone Collector, for those who know that movie with Denzel Washington.
I also picked up another Ted Dekker book at the library.
The kids and I have been finishing up
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (yes, we are slow as Mommy is tired...). We've also started reading Christmas stories. One of my favorites is by Eve Bunting. I believe it is
The Night Tree. It's a beautiful story about a family who goes into the woods to decorate a tree for the forest animals. I don't know what it is, but I love it.
I find it strange but it is very difficult to find Christmas books at our local library that actually mention Jesus. I think I only found one. So I think that we are going to buy one for the library and give it to the librarian as a Christmas gift. It teaches the kids that we are thankful and giving at Christmas, and it'll help diversify the collection. I can only read so much about snowmen.

Hi there-I LOVE the name of your blog. LOL Thanks for the comment at my blog. I enjoyed reading a few of your posts.
The Night Tree sounds wonderful-I wrote it down-hopefully I don't lose the paper.
My favorite Christmas book is The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey.(it also came with a CD & is narrated by James Earl Jones) I can't recall the author and the book is wrapped up right now. LOL
About the Christmas book basket. I have 13 Christmas books that I wrapped up-they're all stories-most of them short. I usually buy 1 new book each year to add to the collection.
The kids really love it-they feel like they're opening presents and we only read these books in December, so they seem new.
Merry Christmas! Holly
P.S. Where did you get that quote by Beatrix Potter? I love that quote and also Beatrix Potter.

Hey! I'll have to check out the book The Twelfth Card, I love creepy books too! The idea about buying a Christmas book about Jesus and donating it to the library is a good one. Oh, and thanks for the award. I can't figure out how to post it on my blog though, ugh!
Blessings,
Kristi

That's a wonderful idea. There aren't many books on homeschooling in my library, either. I should probably follow your lead on that. Cool!
