Christmas Stories Class

"The onions will be silver and the carrots will be gold" the small girl's mother was saying.
"And the potatoes will be ivory," said the small girl, and they laughed together. The small girl's mother had a big white bowl in her lap, and she was cutting up vegetables. The onions were hardest, because she cried over them.
"But our tears will be pearls," said the small girl's mother, and they laughed and dried their eyes, and found the carrots much easier, and the potatoes the easiest of all.
Then the next door neighbor came in and said, "What are you doing?"
"We are making a vegetable pie for our Christmas dinner," said the little girl's mother.
"And the onions will be silver, and the carrots are gold, and the potatoes are ivory," said the small girl.

This is an excerpt from a beautiful story we read today in our Christmas Stories Class, called "The Candle in the Forest" by Temple Bailey.
What a fun time we all had in this class, reading stories, funny poems, and playing Christmas games together! Some of the families even sent in pictures of themselves taking the class on their computer or of their Christmas projects! Mrs. Rhodes had an awesome time with her students today!!! In our holiday classes, we have had families join us from all over the globe! We had a family in Hawaii and one in Sicily today! They tried to teach us how to say Merry Christmas like they say it where they live! Mrs. Rhodes had a terrible time trying it with her southern accent! So, Mrs. Rhodes says "A Very Merry Christmas" to all of you!
