It's been a long week. I didn't feel very well and didn't go to school on Monday. On Tuesday I was back in body only. It seemed like the week dragged on and on. Oh well. This is quite a flu bug. I still feel like I have a bad cold. Enough! Thursday Mom and John dropped by the school for a few minutes. John is heading south pretty soon. It was nice seeing them. Thursday Gregg hauled out the Christmas stuff for me and I spent Thursday evening and Friday decking my halls. I love Christmas.

Twas the night after Halloween

November begins

If we hadn't had the flu

Then the tree would've been in

However, it took just

one extra week

The tree is now up

and the presents it seeks.

I just love Christmas.

Don't you love it too?

Have a Happy Thanksgiving

and Christmas all you.

Maya doesn't like baths any more than I like Mondays.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

the Christmas village

The stockings are hung by the chimney with care
