The Spirit of Christmas
That’s what it’s really about.
This is the year we need to keep that spirit alive.
This is the year we need to find happiness.
If we are happy, it is contagious.
I bring you my favorite ad, as this is the one to, well…
fill me with twinkle lights that shoot out of my fingers and toes.
Yes, this is the one.
May you find happiness and joy this season.
It’s the little things, not the big things, that are important.
Dance, smile, hug your kids, look at the sky.
You will become the shooting star for others.
I have been teaching preschool for over thirty-five years. This is my passion. I believe that children have a voice, and that is the catalyst to enhance or even change the learning experience. Emergent curriculum opens young minds. It's the little things that happen in the classroom that are most important and exciting. That's what I write about.
I was a live guest on the Kelly Clarkson Show. I am highlighted in the seventh edition of Jim Trelease's million-copy bestselling book, "The Read-Aloud Handbook" because of my reading to children. My class has designed quilts that hang as permanent displays at the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia, the Fisher House at the Boston VA Hospital, and the Massachusetts State House in Boston.
Thank you, Joy! ‘Jingle Bells’ to you and Eric and your family. I played that song on the autoharp for children all day long. They couldn’t get enough of the song. Isn’t that wonderful? Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, with love and peace and good health. xxx
Your wonderful words in your poem capture the spirit of the season. So well done! …. and the video is a perfect match. Thanks for being a positive light. Marry Christmas to you and yours!
Yes, they don’t get much better than this one. I look forward to seeing this commercial several times during the holidays. It never gets old, especially the closing scene.
