• Dec. 24, 2009 - No Homeschooling, No Christmas for the Johansson Family

Posted By Gena Suarez, The Old Schoolhouse Magazine
As you celebrate Christmas this year, please remember all the parents who are still fighting for their right to homeschool, and for parents who have had their children taken from them by force without just cause because they homeschooled their children--like the Johansson family of Sweden. This Christmas we can rest easy knowing that the gifts that we bought for our children will help further their education or offer a new way for your family to have fun together. The Johanssons have been denied Christmas with their only child, and so much more.

• Wednesday 23 December 2009 - Wellington

Posted By Nicole

Hey!

We have really nice people at our table now. They are from Wisconsin and Colorado. :). (Oh my god, that was out of the blue, wasn't it)!!! 

We're in Wellington today and it's alright (I perfer New York!) and we had a scary moment so I will tell you that in a moment! 

This morning, I woke up at 8.25am, got ready, had breakfast and by 10.00am, we were off the ship ready to tour Wellington! We went on a cable car. I thought it was so cool! Then we had to do shoe shopping for my dad, It was alright but after like an hour, I got sick of it and started to get cranky so my mum and I went back to the ship, she wasn't happy with me, I could tell! but I was HAPPY to get on the ship!!

The scary moment we had was we were walking and we were crossing the road but it was dad's fault 'cause it wasn't red light for the cars so we didn't know till a car and a bus (yes, a bus!!) went towards us. I thought it was gonna hit me so I screamed and ran quickly as I could, when I was back on the sidewalk, my body was so shaken up 'cause it shocked me!!!!!!!. :( but I'm okay now. :)

I'm gonna go and oh yes,

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

• Dec. 23, 2009 - Homeschooling Through High School ~ Merry Christmas!

Posted By HomeschoolBlogger Company Blog in Homeschooling Through High School
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 9

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.

Hey

How are you? I don't think I posted for a week? Well, I had no credit on the ship's computer and I was having so fun on my cruise! We're in Auckland, New Zealand today. All my friends who I've met went off today and is going home. I made friends who's from New Zealand, Florida, Brisbane and California. We had nice people from N.Z at our dining table. We got on really well that I say, they're our N.Z family!!

Now, there's new people on here and I hope they are nice! Last year, we had hundreds of Australians and they were chit chat people. I'm australian but I'm not like that. I think there's gonna be heaps of English people on here 'cause I met a few who's from England!

I have to go now 'cause I have a fire drill to do! Bye!I'll post tomorrow if I can.

• Dec. 18, 2009 - Special Words for Special Needs ~ A Beautiful Christmas Project

Posted By HomeschoolBlogger Company Blog in specialneeds
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!
