Last day of school
So here I sit. In a quiet classroom, listening to my Christmas CD. Why is it that the end of holidays seems so sad? Yet it does. Funny how saying goodbye to my kids today felt like the end of Christmas.
They were so good today! And cute too. They all wore their pajamas and slippers to school. "Why?" you might ask. "To take a ride on the Polar Express, of course!" would be the answer. They sat in chairs arranged to be like train seats, drank hot chocolate, and ate cookies while watching the movie about a boy who takes a magical train ride to the North Pole. It's amazing how contagious children's laughter is. I firmly believe that you should be required to watch children's movies with children. They help adults see humor in scenes where none seems to exist. I laughed all the way through a movie I never thought was particularly funny! Not that this idea is particularly novel - isn't that how "Peter Pan" came to be so successful (cited reference: "Finding Neverland")?
Well, I must not procrastinate any longer. I have desks to clean and decorations to remove. I hope you all have a very merry Christmas!

I've been missing your posts!
I know what you mean about the holidays seeming over on the last day before the break. But what a fun way to end the year! PJs, Polar Express and Cocoa!
I look forward to watching children's movies w/Ella as she gets older.
I know I kind of checked out there for a while. It's amazing how slow December seemed to go, but looking back on it, it seemed to fly by! Does that make any sense?:) You will have to let me in on how those movies with Ella go. To be honest, I'm sure by the 15th time you've seen the same kid's movie, my theory may lose its value:). Have a Merry Christmas!
