I didn't even know there was such a list on AO, a big thankyou, I'm going to check it out as we have no basket of delights either:(Joyfulmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01888086629467112175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059777806499506820.post-25416252986967094772011-12-04T13:30:39.644-08:002011-12-04T13:30:39.644-08:00Hi Amy, it sounds like the Christmas spirit is ali...Hi Amy, it sounds like the Christmas spirit is alive and well in your family despite not having your box of delights! Thanks for the link to the AO Holiday reading list, I'll definitely be choosing a few from there to read aloud to the kids. We have our tree up, and our crate filled with straw and 'baby Jesus' under the tree, so it's beginning to feel a little like Christmas.

We had moved from Illinois to Pennsylvania for a job, but we didn't have a house yet so had to stay in a hotel from Dec. 3-24. We tried to find a house to rent but just couldn't find the right one until Christmas Eve! It was miserable. I didn't expect to be in the hotel that long, so I devoted my time and attention to finding a house when I used our laptop. At first we didn't know if our laptop would work in our room. Even after we discovered it would, I didn't think of finding stories online to read. It was a very disheartening Advent and Christmas season. I could have made it better, but I didn't think about finding books to read online. The kids watched more TV than they have in their lives! We ended up celebrating Christmas morning on Jan. 27! It still felt like we had really missed something. I'm glad you're not letting that happen.<br />The Best Christmas Pageant Ever is a lot of fun. And it has a good message.<br />The wrapped book idea - lovely! I would do this if I could sew!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing such an excellent post.<br /><br />Oh, this year, we are going all out for advent and Christmas. I started planning in the beginning of November, and my one daughter is helping me to make my plans happen.Penney Douglashttp://www.penneydouglas.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059777806499506820.post-55948510635080356592011-12-03T06:35:37.405-08:002011-12-03T06:35:37.405-08:00Thank you for the link to Ann's free book!

Many thanks.<br />Enjoy your readings!Charlotte Mason in the Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745354878221696596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059777806499506820.post-18249077106103416882011-12-03T05:06:46.329-08:002011-12-03T05:06:46.329-08:00Thanks so much, Amy.

I will bookmark these.<br />The only problem is that the computer is hidden away in the upstairs den where we don't all fit and it is chilly. So to hear or read stories off the computer (only one) is not as comfy as in the warm livingroom with woodstove heat, ya know?<br /><br />But thanks.Pam...https://www.blogger.com/profile/10841982988173436843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059777806499506820.post-15101826168535010962011-12-03T04:51:03.510-08:002011-12-03T04:51:03.510-08:00That book is a very fun book!

We too miss the many Christmas books we had collected in the States. There are many traditions that we must adjust living overseas.Thomas and Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01904605569202390479noreply@blogger.com
