Christmas with a capital K!

We have three weeks left in school before the "Winter Break." That is precisely enough time to start talking about all things "Winter" even though it was 76 degrees outside and the high for Friday is in the 80s. Winter indeed.

Today was the first day the kids saw the December calendar and the pictures are of an "evergreen tree" and a "holiday gift," yet they clearly look like a Christmas tree and a present. Everything must be very PC.

We are learning about customs and traditions in families, so I even asked the kids to raise their hands so I knew what they celebrate at home. No takers on Hanukkah, one little white girl (bless her heart) raised her hand for Kwanzaa, and then everyone raised their hand for Christmas and Santa.

The room mom and I were planning the "Winter Party" and she was like, "What? We can't decorate a Christmas tree?" Uh, no. By the end of the day, I want you to know that I have already given up on PC this year. It just confuses the kids when you use words like "holidays" and "winter party." Let's just call it what it is...the "I love Jesus and it's the last day before the CHRISTMAS break party!"

14 days and counting!
