We are downright giddy here. We are officially on Christmas break- hence why I am up so late.

Lily's contata was last night and this morning and she did a great job. Mrbeaver's birthday was today and we had fun celebrating. He actually made his own birthday dinner(lasagna, I've never made it, I can't eat it), and Jack made a delicious chocolate cream pie for dessert.

I am busy finishing up some gifts, and need to still do some shopping and all the wrapping. We have some cookies made and frozen and a few more types to bake up this week. But the tree is up and the house is decorated, and the school work is done AND put away!!!

In reading through my emails I came across this hilarious version of The 12 Days of Christmas. I am having such a good time chuckling to myself(everyone else is in bed you see) and I wanted to share it with you guys. It is funny because I have been homeschooling for 16 years(gasp) and I have indeed answered all these questions at some point.

The 14 days of Homeschooling (sung to The 12 Days of Christmas)

On the first day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “Can you
homeschool legally?”

On the second day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “Are they
socialized, can you homeschool legally?”

On the third day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “Do you give them
tests, are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?”

On the fourth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “What about
P.E., do you give them tests, are they socialized, can you homeschool
legally?”

On the fifth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “YOU ARE SO
STRANGE! What about P.E., do you give them tests, are they socialized,
can you homeschool legally?”

On the sixth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “How long will you
homeschool, YOU ARE S0 STRANGE, what about P.E. , do you give them tests,
are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?”

On the seventh day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “Look at what
they’re missing, how long will you homeschool, YOU ARE SO STRANGE!, what
about P.E., do you give them tests, are they socialized, do you
homeschool legally?”

On the eighth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “Why do you do
this, look at what they’re missing, how long will you homeschool, YOU ARE
SO STRANGE, what about P.E. do you give them tests, are they socialized,
do you homeschool legally?”

On the ninth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “They’ll miss the
prom, why do you do this, look at what they’re missing, how long
will you homeschool, YOU ARE SO STRANGE!, what about P.E. do you give
them tests, are they socialized, do you homeschool legally?”

On the tenth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “What about
graduation, they’ll miss the prom, why do you do this, look at what
they’re missing, how long will you homeschool, YOU ARE SO STRANGE!, what
about P.E., do you give them tests, are they socialized, can you
homeschool legally?”

On the eleventh day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “I could never
do that, what about graduation, they’ll miss the prom, why do
you do this, look at what they’re missing, how long will you homeschool,
YOU ARE SO STRANGE, what about P.E., do you give them
tests, are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?”

On the twelfth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “Can they go to
college, I could never do that, what about graduation, they’ll miss
the prom, why do you do this, look at what they’re missing, how long
will you homeschool, YOU ARE SO STRANGE, What about P.E., do you give
them tests, are they socialized, can you homeschool legally?”

On the thirteenth day of homeschool I thoughtfully replied: “They Can go
to college, yes you can do this, they can have graduation, we don’t
like the prom, we do it because we like it, they are missing nothing,
we’ll homeschool forever, WE ARE NOT STRANGE!, We give them P.E., and we
give them tests, they are socialized, AND WE HOMESCHOOL LEGALLY!

On the fourteenth day of homeschool my neighbor said to me, “How can I
get started, why didn’t you tell me, where do I buy curriculum, when
is the next conference, WILL PEOPLE THINK WE’RE STRANGE? I think we can
do this, if you will help us, we’ll join a sports team, and we’ll
homeschool legally.
