Every Christmas is different in our house and I know it is the same for kids as well. Some years are so magical and flawless and then some years there are times when the holiday drama sets in and things get to just be way way to much!! I know for me things have been crazy this year. In the past month I have graduated college, gotten a new job, and bought countless gifts. Sometimes the whole things just stresses me out, but then I think about what christmas is really about and I think of Llama Llama Holiday Drama.
Sometimes it takes a kids book to remember that Christmas is not about the presents and its not about getting the best deals! It is about spending time with all the people that you love. It is about slowing down and being thankful for all that you have.
Reading with children is a great time to reflect on how lucky you are. I don’t have kids of my own, but I have a lot of children that are very very important in my life. One of my very favorite things is setting with them, no tv, no music, Just us and a book and taking time to read with them. I think that this is the best way to bond. Sometimes when I a reading with the kids I babysit for I find myself being so swept up in the magic of the moment. These small moments are what great memories are made of and what make the holidays so special.
Happy Holidays,
Ms. Cara
