CHRISTMAS IS COMING! The
signs are definitely here, with deco-
rative lights displayed in most
towns you drive through, Santa

stores and everyone Christmas
shopping.
At Nursery
School, everyone
is definitely in
the spirit of
things. Daily we
discuss what
Santa will bring

are fervorently
practicing for the
Christmas

with teachers handing out bells,
doing finger plays, showing them
how to do the Hansel and Gretel
Dance.)
How nice it would be if we could
always enjoy Christmas as small
children do, with enthusiasm, happi-
ness, seeing good in everyone and
everything.
