B

This book is published by candlewick press and I'm happy to be able to share it with you.

B

It was christmas eve, santa claus and the reindeer were home at last. They were very tired because they had been delivering presents to all children.

B

B

They had something to eat and then santa put the reindeer to bed. One of the reindeer said it did not feel very well.

B

Maybe it had nibbled on something in a way that it something on the way that it should not have. There's a thought that all it needed was a good night's sleep.

B

Maybe I'd ate some chocolate cookies that were supposed to go to santa. huh Finally, santa was able to go to bed he put on his pajamas and was just climbing into bed when he saw something that made him gasp at the end of his bed. Lay his sack santa could see the shape of one present still inside it. Santa pulled the present out of the sack the present was harvey. Slumpfenberger's santa knew all about harvey slumpenbergers.

B

He knew that harvey slumpenberger's parents were too poor to buy him presents. He knew that harvey slumpenberger only ever got one present, and that was the present that santa brought in he knew that harvey slumpenberger lived in a hut at the top of rolly pulley mountain, which was far far away.

B

Santa was very tired, the reindeer were asleep, and one of them was not very well, but santa knew he had to get the present to harvey slunkenberger.

B

Santa put on his coat over his pajamas, he put on his boots and hat picked up the sack with harvey slumpenberger's present in it and started to walk through the cold winter night to the hut, where harvey slumpenberger lived at the top of roly-poly mountain, which was far far away.

B

Santa had not gone very far when he met a man with a what.

A

B

Excuse me, he said my name is santa claus. I still have one present left in my sack, which is for harvey slumpenberger, the little boy who lives in a hut at the top of roly-poly mountain, which is far far away and soon it will be christmas day.

B

Get in my plane said the man and I will take you as far as I can. The airplane took off and flew through the night sky toward the roly-foley mountain.

B

Heavy snow began to fall. I am so sorry santa said the man. I cannot fly my airplane any farther in this snow, the plane, bumped and skidded across the ground and finally came to a halt. But if you go to the garage that lies over the hill, there is a man with a jeep. Maybe he can help you.

B

Santa set off through the snow, he went over the hill to the garage where the man with the t where there was the man with the jeep. Excuse me. He said my name is santa claus. I still have one present left in my sack, which is for harvey slumpenberger, the little boy who lives in a hut at the top of the roly-poly mountain, which is far far away and soon it will be christmas day climb.

B

In my jeep said the man- and I will take you as far as I can- the jeep bounced and spun across the field and down the road toward the roly-poly.

B

B

But then the jeep skidded and crashed through the fence and into a tree santa was sent tumbling into the snow. I am so sorry santa said the man I can take you no farther, but if you go down the hill and across the river there is a boy with a motorbike. Maybe he can help.

B

B

Santa went down the hill and across the river and met the boy with the motorbike.

B

We'll go on. My motorbike said the boy. I will take you as far as I can the motorboat bike roared off along the road towards the rolly pulley.

B

B

But they had not gone very far before the motorbike slid on some ice and they both fell off. I am so sorry santa said the boy. The front of my bike is all twisted and I can take you no farther, but if you go across the valley and into the woods there is a girl who has skis, maybe she can help you.

B

Santa went across the valley and into the woods where he found the girl with skis. Excuse me, he said my name is santa claus. I still have one present left in my sack, which is for harvey slofenberger, the little boy who lives in a hut at the top of roly poly mountain, which is far far away.

B

I'm going to say that with me on top of roly-poly mountain, which is far far away- and it will soon be christmas day, stand on the back of your skis said the girl- and I will take you as far as I can to the roly-poly mountain.

B

They had not gone very far when the skis broke with a crack and they both tumbled into the snow. Oh dear.

B

I am so sorry santa said the girl, my skis, are broken and I can take you no farther, but if you go up the slope and down onto the plane, you will be the near near the bottom of roly-poly mountain.

B

Where there is a climber with a rope. Maybe he can help you.

I still have one present left in my sack, which is for harvey slofenberger, the little boy who lives in a hut at the top of roly-poly mountain, which is far far away. That's right and it will soon be christmas day hold on to my rope, said the climber, and I will take you as far as I can up the roly-poly mountain.

B

They had not climbed very far when the rope broke and santa nearly fell off the roly-poly mountain. I am so sorry santa said the climber. My rope is broken and I cannot climb any higher. But if you keep going up that cliff and over those boulders, you will see a little hut at the top, and that is the hut where harvey slumpenberger lives.

B

There they are there, they are.

B

Santa kept going up the cliff and over the boulders and finally arrived at the hut, where harvey slumpenberger.

B

A

B

Santa checked that the reindeer were all right and tucked in bed and as the sun began to rise on christmas morning, santa climbed into bed and was soon fast, asleep.

B

In the hut, at the top of the roly-poly mountain, which is far far away a little boy reached for the stocking on the end of his bed and took out his present.

B

I wonder what it was.

A

What do you think it was? I wonder what it was.

B

Maybe you can draw some pictures about your holiday celebrations. What do you do in december to celebrate.

B

This is published by alfred a knock.

B

I am a mix of two traditions from daddy christmas and hanukkah mama.

B

Our tree is crowded with a is crowned with one shiny star and we light eight candles for hanukkah. I help mama, hang stockings by the fireplace daddy makes latkes to leave on the mantel with milk grandma's recipe is santa's, favorite treat.

B

We decorate our home for the holidays, mama scatters golden gilt under the tree, that is gold coins or sometimes they're chocolate coins that is celebrates the richness of the holidays at hanukkah, daddy, hooks, candy canes on menorah branches, I paint powder, blue angels and red-nosed reindeer. They fly around our living room with the king and queen on ribbons. My decorations hang from the ceiling.

B

Songs for both hanukkah and christmas in hand, we carol to the neighbors about the maccabees and the manger: dreidel dreidel, dreidel and.

A

Silent night.

B

Making music to bright smiles, I sing for both daddy christmas and hanukkah.

B

B

In the kitchen, we prepare a festive meal just in time for the last night of hanukkah, daddy stuffs, the turkey with cranberry kugel dressing mama makes jelly donuts and fruitcake for dessert. I set the table for santa saba, granny and aunts and uncles and cousins.

B

Daddy christmas and hanukkah mama will sit on each end with me in the middle.

B

Watching snowflakes fall. We wait for family to arrive. Everyone passes under the mistletoe kissing me, hanukkah, mama and daddy christmas.

B

B

Mountains of gifts are placed under the tree for eight nights of hanukkah plus christmas day. How lucky am I.

B

When dinner's done, the family gathers in the living room, uncle zachary recalls the miracle of the oil for hanukkah and faith tells about the animals in the manger, waiting for the baby to be born wide-eyed. We listen to these traditional tales, which link us together.

B

B

Christmas morning, I cannot wait to see what is underneath the tree with mocha eggnog, lattes, hanukkah, mama and daddy christmas. Soon join me: daddy plays mellow holiday, jazz mama heats up, leftover, potato pancakes. We take turns giving each other a final.

B

B

After new year's eve festivities, we take down the tree unstring the light and pack up the menorah. I carefully place. Ornaments and dreidels inside a box decorations go into storage for next year, daddy christmas sweeps up pine needles and hanukkah mama tosses wrapping paper into the recycling bin.

B

I look forward to a new year of celebrating all the other holidays following hanukkah and christmas with daddy mama and me.

B

What are your favorite holidays? What traditions do you celebrate with your family? Maybe you can make some pictures about that.

B

Okay, even though we can't have a big party this year, we can imagine about what we'll do next year right and what we've done in the past.

B

So I have a scarf song for us next and I am wearing my scarf. So if you have a scarf around with you, you can get it out and or if you have a dish towel or a paper towel or you can use your hands and pretend they're a scarf.

B

This song is uh about snowflakes dance like snowflakes, so you can get up and dance around if you want with this song. It goes like this. First we're gonna dance like snowflakes.

A

Dance likes dance like snowflakes dance like snowflakes in the air in the air, whirling twirling, snowflakes, swirling, twirling, snowflakes, everywhere everywhere: dance like snowflakes dance like snowflakes in the air in the air, whirling twirling, snowflakes, whirling, twirling, snowflakes everywhere everywhere.
