Does your family have any stories that you tell every Christmas? Maybe it's a story about someone in your family. Or maybe it's a tale that your family has enjoyed every year since your grandparents were little?
I'd love to hear some of those stories. I found a really fun website called Zooburst that will let you create your own book. It even has pop up pictures! You do have to register for this one, but it's free. Have Mom or Dad help you think of a name that will be safe. Mom and Dad will have to answer an email saying that it's ok for you to have an account.
When your story is finished, share it here: Christmas Stories.

Deck the Halls with Ornaments - Library Style!
Chances are, you have an ornament on your tree that you love. Maybe it's one you got when you were a baby. Or may it's one that has your favorite character on it. Maybe there's an ornament you made for Mom or Dad that you just couldn't stand to not see on the tree. I'd like to know about that ornament.
You have some choices here. You can take a picture of the ornament and share it on the Wiki. Or you can tell us about the ornament on the Wiki. OR (and I'm hoping you choose this option) you can visit Kerpoof and draw a picture of an ornament or even your whole tree. This is so fun! You can make an account if you want, but you don't have to. So the website never has to know who you are.
Post your ornaments here: Christmas Ornaments and Trees.

Deck the Halls - Library Style!
Merry Christmas! Can you believe that Christmas will be here soon? We're getting ready and the library and having all sorts of programs! Come join the fun!
I'd like to know about how you celebrate Christmas with your family. This week, I'll be showing you some activities that will work on your Narrative Skills. That means your ability to tell a story. Some of you older kids will be able to do the projects on your own. The younger kids will need some help from a grown up, like Mom or Dad. And since I'd like to see what you do, I've created a wiki for us to share on: Deck the Halls - Library Style.
You will have to ask me to add you to the group before you can share anything. But since anyone can see it, I suggest only using your first name and last initial when you share something. Remember safe internet use: Don't share any information that would tell someone who you are or where you live, ok? We want to keep everybody safe!
Ok... We're going to start off easy today to give you a chance to practice using the Wiki.
Can you tell me your favorite book about Christmas?
Go here to share: Favorite Christmas Books.
To add your book, click on the edit button. Go to the bottom of the page and type in your information.
I can't wait to see what you enjoy!
