As it grew close to bedtime, Grammy and Papa were politely asked to take Will upstairs and put him to bed with them since Santa was waiting patiently for an opportunity to arrive.

Crafts pass time The novelty of winter has probably worn off by now.
But, according to the calendar, there are two full months left in the season. Craft projects may be just the thing to capture the interest of your children, and save all of you from going stir-crazy as you wait inside for the mercury to rise. Chapters include Colonial America, North Country Pioneer Life, Southern Cross Roots, California Gold Rush, American Southwest and Hollywood. This book suggests art projects that help children adjust to new circumstances, like a new baby, the death of a relative or a parent going on a trip. Also, there are holiday-appropriate, handmade gift ideas.
