| A Letter to Santa |
J came home with his Thursday folder full of schoolwork from the past week. Apparently, they are practicing proper letter writing form (heading, greeting, body, closing, signature). They were using their writing skills to write a letter to Santa.
Here's what J's says:
Dear Santa:
I have tried to be good this year and all I want for Christmas is to learn the true meaning of Christmas and please put it on a piece of paper.
Love,
J
That's it. No games, toys, or other such requests. I'm sure he will have a special note from Santa under the tree this year, all about the true meaning of Christmas. |

Quite a contrast to Slugger's recent school assignment. They had to write a letter to someone "convincing" the person to do something.
Slugger's letter started "Dear Mom, I would like to convince you to buy me..." Then he listed a whole ton of stuff including expensive video game systems and a motorcycle.
Maybe when J gets his letter you could fax a copy over for Slugger?

Wow. I bet that impressed the teacher! This reminds me of a little note I found folded up over and over again and left by the altar in church. "Dear Jesus, help me be patient with my brothers because it is hard to love them." Children can be such beautifully spiritual beings. We underestimate them.

Precious. I'm so glad to be caught up on the goings-on of your six blessings.

RYC over at Rhonda's blog...if you get to live ANYWHERE near them when they move this week, I am going to be soooo jealous!!! I might have to come see both families before you guys head out of the country.
Merry Christmas!
