Gigi gaga goo goo
This poem I write for you,
I love you mummy I really really do
I am only a little baby,
So gigi gaga goo goo
This poem mummy is just for you,
You feed me in the morning
And burp me like you do,
You change my dirty nappy
So gigi gaga goo goo,
I cry, you make me smile
And put me to bed at night,
So all I have to say to you
Is gigi gaga goo goo,
Roughly translated;
Mummy I really do love you.

Inside A Snow Globe

Looking out my window glass
I see a sight that will not last
Tho I am warm within my robe
T’is like I’m in a big snow globe
Out every window, I can see
Flakes of white surrounding me
Swirling, twirling, to and fro
Dance the pure white flakes of snow
They twist and turn, I feel the thrill
They’re racing towards my window sill
Mystical bits of flying fluff
My eyes just cannot get enough
As time goes on, they tire out
They flit and spin and float about
Some on roof tops, some in trees
Landing softly, where they please
Changing landscapes, creating scenes
Filled with frosted evergreens
They come to rest without a sound
A fleecy blanket on the ground
Mistletoe

Most people have heard of mistletoe, particularly at Christmas time. It is a plant which often grows on other trees and shrubs. The white berries are full of a sticky juice.
There are lots of legends and traditions surrounding mistletoe, the most well known and popular being the kissing one. It was believed that kissing under the mistletoe would lead to marriage.
In ancient times the Druids believed that mistletoe would bring good luck and health. Although it has been used to treat some ailments, the berries are poisonous and should not be touched by children.
There has also been a tradition that a good crop of mistletoe is a sign that there will be a good harvest in the following season.

Who stood outside the door,
He wished that he could come inside,
And run about the floor.
He wished that he could warm himself,
Beside the fire, so red,
He wished that he could climb
Upon the big white bed.
So he called to the North Wind,
«Come and help me, pray,
For I’m completely frozen,
Standing here all day.»
So the North Wind came along,
And blew him in the door,
And now there’s nothing left,
But a puddle on the floor!
ELECTRONIC CHRISTMAS

I asked for new gadgets for Christmas.
My list was a hundred lines long.
I figured I might as well try it.
Why not? I mean, what could go wrong?
My parents bought all that I wanted:
An iPod, a big-screen TV,
a camera, a laptop computer,
a Playstation, Xbox, and Wii.
I got a new Kindle, a smart phone,
an RF remote-controlled car,
a robot, a video camera,
a brand new electric guitar.
But those things were just the beginning.
This Christmas, I had such a haul,
it took me all morning, and then some,
to finish unwrapping it all.
A hundred new gadgets to play with.
I couldn’t be bothered to wait.
The moment I plugged them all in, though,
it blew every fuse in the state.
If you’re spending Christmas in darkness,
and can’t play your video game,
I’m sorry for all of the trouble;
it’s probably me who’s to blame.
I know now I shouldn’t be greedy,
so, next year, I think you’ll be fine.
Instead of a hundred new gadgets,
I’m asking for just ninety nine.

This is a fun little project the kids loved making last year and were just as thrilled to pull out of the Christmas decorating box And see them again this year.
.
Here are the supplies you will need:
– Figurine ($3 at local toy store) and tree ($1 for 3-pack at dollar store)
*Note, make sure figurine fits in opening of globe!
– Globe (I used a jar from a dollar store $1)
– Snow (here I used finely shredded coconut and sugar to add sparkle)
– Glue gun
– Marker
I am sure it is pretty self-explanatory to do this but here are the steps:
1) If the jar is not even all around, close lid and make a mark on lid where the front of the jar is so you will know which way to place figurine.
2) Open lid and hot-glue figurine and tree to lid
3) Fill globe with snow, close lid and voila!
