Here is the Children’s version of the Twelve Days of Christmas:

On the Twelfth Day of Christmas my parents gave to me:

Twelve luxury hotels; my own beautiful mountain; ten days upon the moon; nine herds of horses; eight pounds of diamonds; seven Serengeti summers; six trips around the world; five golden bikes; four trips to Heaven; three riding butterflies; two skyscraper playgrounds and a computer and a shiny new desk!

It’s always funny to hear what they come up with. One child offered a coffee pot. Anyway, I thought it was a hoot.

Speaking of hoots: If you are reading this, and you mention that you regularly read the blog, you will be put into a drawing for a nice gift. We are doing this because we are trying to make the blog the newspaper for the school. Nearly everyone has Internet access, and we are noticing that fewer and fewer parents are reading either the notes sent home or the calendar or the special agenda papers or the parent board or are they listening to the verbal announcements. On the day we expected the Santa Gifts to arrive, 13 out of 37 arrived, and some of those included a sibling.
