Decembers Report
This is a wonderful and well-loved Christmas Story. We turn the lights off and just by the light of our three little Christmas trees we let the author of the stroy read to the children. They are captivated by the soft grandfather voice that tells his story of long ago. The boys especially love the war pictures and the children almost always ask why they have to go back to war when the morning breaks. We talk with the children about the war we are in and ask if any of them know people who are protecting our freedoms. We discuss how they don't get to come home for Christmas, that they stay and protect us even though they would rather be home with family and love ones.

Thanks for creating a meaningful experience for your students. I recently saw a presentation on the song "Silent Night" and the part it played in that event from WW I.
