My Christmas in July

The past two weeks have been busy with doctor’s appointments and surgery for Hubby. That means a lot of waiting, and for me reading D.L. Finn’s Miracles and Ghosts: A Christmas Collection.  This is the best Christmas in July, ever!

P.S. Yes, I have the Collection Two book.

About Jennie

I have been teaching preschool for over forty 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.

  1. I hope hubby is doing well after the surgery – I think you both need a little Christmas cheer these days. So, I guess The Collection part two is about to be cracked open? 😉 Take care

    I remember this one well. Lots of uplifting, happy stories.

  14. Wonderful that you have an uplifting book to get you through the worrisome days with your husband’s medical appointments and tests.

  15. Reading Miracles and Ghosts for Christmas in July sound like a great idea. I have not read it but I know that it is a great book. I wish your husband a full and speedy recovery.

  16. I have downloaded this one tonight and will probably order the other soon. I know I can see the print if I do it this way. I’ve already given away half of my Chicken Soup for Soul books, again. I love these kind of stories.

    Jennie, nice to be here again, and so nice to be greeted with a Christmas In July message. I have seen D.L.’s book mentioned before, and it needs to go on the to-do list for July for sure. I love this collection concept. I have also learned of your hubby’s situation, and it is great to hear he is now on the mend. Prayers to you both!

  21. Always welcome dear Jennie ❤️🙏

  22. Wow, Christmas has come early! I don’t even think about Christmas until the end of October.

  23. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
