Christmas Bookworm

Hello Everyone!

Today I moved into my new home for the next four years. The move was stressful but I'm really enjoying having everything moved in and set up. My room is very nice (I got the bigger one) and even though my bed is ridiculously high up off the ground, I like it. My roommate is super nice and we had gotten to know each other before school so that's good.

I haven't quite decided what today's post is going to be about but I figure if I ramble on about school and what I've done today, I'll eventually think of something Christmas-y to talk about.  So far today I have been greeted at the door by VERY enthusiastic college students, berated by boxes of things, called "legit" (in a good way) and eaten a not so satisfying lunch. Have I thought of anything to write about? Not yet. Let's continue: I'm in my room now waiting for my roommate to find out her classes so that our families can go over and buy textbooks. AHA! I've decided what to talk about: BOOKS! More specifically, Christmas books.

Okay, so every Christmas Eve my mom, Glenn and I sit on mom's bed and read a selection of Christmas books. These selections are: Santa Cows, The Cajun Night Before Christmas, The Grinch that Stole Christmas, The Twelve Bugs of Christmas, and occasionally The Polar Express. Don't know what these books are? Well, I'll tell you.

1. Santa Cows: this book is about cows that come to visit a family on Christmas eve and play baseball. It is written in the format of The Night Before Christmas, complete with rhymes. It sounds odd, but if you're looking for a new book, I highly recommend this.

2. The Cajun Night Before Christmas: also written in the format of The Night Before Christmas, The Cajun Night Before Christmas explores the classic rhymes of The Night Before Christmas with a Cajun theme. All of the words are shortened somewhat, and Glenn is the only one who can read it but it's fun.

3. The Grinch that Stole Christmas: you should know. you should just know.

4. The Twelve Bugs of Christmas: this is a book that is supposed to be sung to the Twelve Days of Christmas. It is from a series which writes all sorts of "bug" books; for example, Valentine's Bugs, Easter Bugs and Halloween Bugs.

5. The Polar Express: a popular book and now a Tom Hanks movie, the Polar Express is a Christmas classic

That's about it!

What do you guys read as far as Christmas books go? Any that I should try out for this year?

Until next time,
Lasagna Claus
