And thanks for the recommendations -- there are a few new books we need to hunt down...<br /><br />We placed everyone's names into Lily's duckie hat, and the kids drew out some winners:<br /><br />Lily went first and pulled out "Kimberly" - congrats!<br /><br />Then Gracie went and got "Heather Zundel" - congrats to you as well!<br /><br />Isaac drew the last name and it was "Penny"!<br /><br />Congratulations, you three! (Sorry everyone couldn't win... We'll have to do this again soon!)<br /><br />Thanks for your encouragement! Hope your Christmas was a good one. Have a happy new year,<br /><br />- Dad, Isaac, Grace, and LilyZ-Kidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10626951769574291044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376995194339975010.post-88315302156660643952009-12-26T20:43:14.330-05:002009-12-26T20:43:14.330-05:00I am so glad that you choose to feature this lovel...I am so glad that you choose to feature this lovely book. I just noticed it in my living room and was kicking myself because I forgot to write about it. I find that my favorite Christmas book changes a lot, so I'll say a classic - Santa Mouse - and a newer, quirky one - The Lump of Coal. <br /><br />BTW, you all did really wonderful drawings.MotherReaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274509991340797264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376995194339975010.post-65278242926971222132009-12-22T19:20:46.660-05:002009-12-22T19:20:46.660-05:00A chance to win one of your original drawings?

While it is hard to beat the original, a favorite Christmas picture book of mine is Father and Son: A Nativity Story by Geraldine Mccaughrean and Fabian Negrin. It tells the story from Joseph's perspective, which I love. If you haven't read it, I recommend it.Heather Zundelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16621649337908358313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2376995194339975010.post-39579415066634532672009-12-22T18:49:55.605-05:002009-12-22T18:49:55.605-05:00How have I missed this book!
