…my true loves gave to me…
Nothing like curling up with a good book: I buy a new Christmas book each year, and this year’s is a real winner! We highly recommend Christmas Soup, by Alice Faye Duncan and Phyllis Dooley, illustrated by Jan Spivey Gilchrist (published by Zonderkids 2005).

And on that note– here’s a link to an oldie-but-goodie-post-from-the-past: “White Christmases for Black Boys”

And speaking of that– you’ve got to check out this article, by Lori Tharps, from today’s Philadelphia Inquirer (in which us J-Ms are mentioned!): “A Bit of Home for the Holidays: Blending Adopted Child’s Cultural Heritage into Family Traditions”

Merry merry merry!
Fantastic article! I love looking at all your Christmas decorations, they’re so beautiful and unique. I remember reading an article (can’t recall where, maybe Love Isn’t Enough) about a pre-school that hired a Black Santa Claus and most of the children made such a fuss and refused to participate saying he wasn’t “real”, so sad. Happy Holidays J-Ms and happy reading
