7 Year Old Christmas Wish List

Our 7 year old granddaughter has posted her Christmas wish list online. Online wish lists are great for grandparents, far or near. It makes Christmas shopping for grandchildren so much easier. I won’t have to drive around, fight the crowds, and end up not finding what I’m looking for! No gas or time wasted. I’ll have plenty of time to shop online and have the items sent by the store…probably for free…which means no standing in line at the post office, UPS, FedEx or DHL.

Thanksgiving Poem: To Grandmother’s House We Go

No collection of Thanksgiving poems would be complete without this old time favorite Thanksgiving poem, To Grandmother’s House We Go, which is also a folk song. I remember singing it when I was a young child and continued the tradition with my own children. Now it’s time to teach it to our grandchildren.
To Grandmother’s House We Go is a great song to sing in the car to add quality time together while you’re busy rushing around getting ready for the coming holidays.
