Holiday Sprinkles

This year school ends on December 23rd! Instead of visions of sugar plums dancing through my head, my mind is otherwise occupied by reading test comprehension questions, entering data into my gradebook and frantically figuring out ways to trick my students into getting work done while sugar pulses through their veins.  Yesterday one of my students graciously inquired,  

"What happened to your hair Mrs. Henry?  I've never seen you look so messy!"

Around here we have at least managed to sew up some stockings for the fireplace, make two batches of reindeer cookies for various work-related holiday functions, cut down and decorate a Christmas tree, string the house with lights and even wrap some presents.

Sorry folks.  No Holiday cards this year. 


P.S. 
SANTA WROTE BACK!  
He wished LJ a merry time at the Nutcracker ballet with aunt Jane and cousin Phoebe, and he cleverly avoided promise of fulfilling gift requests.
