Heading for the Holidays

Things get a little wild around here just before the holiday break.  So many extra events to keep up with -- the choir program, the tea, the sing-along, all the extra practices -- and that doesn't include the crazy weather!  Still, it is one of my favorite times, as it seems everyone is open to wonder and surprise.  There is just an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation that is a little contagious.  In the LMC, we have put out all the Christmas picture books and shared a few of our favorites.  I am busily working on the book fair books -- many thanks to those of you who purchased during our fair!  If you are looking for that extra gift, here are a few of the favorite titles and series so far this year...based on how often they are requested and checked out!
