Christmas Eve

by Summer Minor

gold christmas decorationsIt’s Christmas Eve, are you excited? If you’re traveling this year be safe. There is lots of snow and ice across the midwest and some power outages. We lost power for a few hours on Saturday, but things here seem to be back to normal.

Is anyone hoping Santa will brings some homeschool supplies this year? Though with some families almost anything can bcome a homeschool supply. Do you have any wonderful traditions this time of year. I read the most beautiful post this weekend on one family’s winter traditions. Making lanterns, taking a walk in the dark, a bonefire, and of course lots of reading. It sounded amazing.

If you’ve got family members home right now that usually aren’t Homeschool Savvy has a great post up on involving other family members in the homeschooling. If your husband took some vacation time right now and is driving you nuts this might be a good post for you to read. Especially if you’re feeling the urge to beat him with some mistletoe.

If you’re getting up early tomorrow morning to get presents under the tree, or staying up late to finish some last minute ones here’s something to ponder: What does it mean to support public education?Take a break from last minute wrapping to curl up on the couch with a cup of cocoa and work this one out. Speaking of last minute wrapping, if you’ve got a few people on your list that you still don’t have gifts for I’ve got a post here with some quick and simple ideas.

I’m out of here until the 26th. So let me wish everyone right now a Merry Christmas!
