Lilliput Station's Online Christmas Party 2008!
|
My family and I love the Christmas season, with all of its decoration and excitement! So I wanted to tell you all about the party going on over at Squidoo, hosted by Melissa Telling of Lilliput Station! Online Christmas Party 2008 The following is a description of what you will find at this wonderful online party: "It is a way for homeschoolers all over the world to get together and share some Christmas spirit. It is a place to gather new ideas, new recipes, and maybe a few new traditions. It is a time of fellowship and fun, a time to share the love of Christ with all of our online friends. It is our way of making the season a little brighter for those we have never met, but still feel as if we know." So go on over to Squidoo and have some Christmas fun! Not to mention that you can also win some fabulous door prizes, one of which is my Hip2Homeschool Unit Study on the Deep Sea and Its Creatures, among many others. I also just wanted to share some of the Christmas traditions that we share as a family during this joyous holiday season! One thing that I love to do each year with my family is go to cut down our own Christmas tree. The past few years, it has been hard to do that because of finances but it is a family tradition that I just love and would love to start implementing again. We have gone to a lot to get the tree together for the past 2 years but there is nothing like going off to cut down your own! After we get the tree, we love to come back and decorate it, sipping hot cocoa or a hot cup of coffee, and playing our favorite Christmas music! Another tradition that the kids and I started a few years back was doing a Christmas Unit study the whole month of December. One year, we did a unit centered on the book by Lisa Whelchel called The ADVENTure of Christmas, which was a lot of fun. Last year, we did one centered on A Christmas Carol. This year we will be doing one on Colonial Christmases in Virginia. This is a fun way to educate and enjoy the holiday season, all at the same time. Another tradition that we have is that we go to our church on Christmas Eve and watch A Charlie Brown Christmas with the congregation! This is a tradition that our pastor started and it is really a lot of fun. Afterwards we have treats and hot cocoa in our Children's Ministry room. We love to yearly watch Linus sharing the true reason for Christmas! These are just a few of our Christmas traditions. I look forward to reading about what others do during this great holiday season! |
