Daphne was still pretty sick last night, so there are no photos of Bag #12. Inside was a note that said, "Family Movie Night" and there was an accompanying package containing the Chipmunk's Christmas DVD. We watched it - it was nice and short - right before bed.
Tonight, Bag #13 said, "Let's read a book." Last year, we got the Grinch book, and this year it was a book called "The Christmas Magic." I want to get us a new Christmas book each year so Daphne will have a collection when she grows up.
It is a nice story with calm and peaceful illustrations. I like it.
Daphne stayed home sick again today, and we had to miss Piano/Art lessons and the Daisy meeting. I got my Christmas cards done, but not much else. She's going to school tomorrow. But it was nice having her home with me for a couple of days. We just took it easy. Now, Kev is sick. I am determined to stay well. If I get sick, Christmas may not come. Tomorrow I have a million errands.

I **was** going to recommend "An Aussie Night Before Christmas" -- Santa wearing a tank top and shorts (because December is summer for us...). But I'm guessing it's out of print because Amazon is selling it for $100.

A book a year is a good tradition.

There's also one by the guy that wrote the "Lemony Snickets" series, about a lump of coal. Peculiar, but entertaining. Worth considering.
