A Pioneer Christmas




We are reading this book this week too. It is a story of a family celebrating Christmas on the prairie, while waiting for their cousin and his new wife to arrive from the east- with the new baby-.Through out there are many bible readings, crafts and recipes to try, and games to play, like pompadour balls out of oranges, and snow ice cream- this week this come in handy:-) A fun book to learn how others in another place in time celebrated the day of Jesus birth. And how family has always been the most important focus.

I got this and the previous book from Rainbow Resources. the best homeschool resource I use:-)

sounds like a great book! I'll have to keep this in mind for next year. BTW, I had a hard time seeing where the "post a comment" is.
