I just want to thank you for writing and publishing such a beautiful advent Christmas curriculum. This was our first year dropping everything else and just focusing on Christmas between Thanksgiving and Christmas. We used your Connected Christmas curriculum and what a blessing it has been to our family. After completing our last lesson, it was so bittersweet to be officially done with Christmas school! We thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of your Christmas school curriculum. Our favorite read alouds were: Christmas Tapestry, An Orange for Frankie, and The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey. Although we truly enjoyed them all! The activities were engaging and fun, and our children even sung one of the hymns and recited one of the poems we had studied during Christmas school for our church’s Christmas Eve service.
I have the special blessing of homeschooling alongside my two sisters and their families and how special it was to do Christmas school altogether each morning with my own children aged 8 years old, 7 years old, 3 years old, and 17 months, along with my nieces and nephews aged 14 years old, 10 years old, 7 years old, and 5 years old. Even my parents who live nearby were able to join in most mornings! We chatted many mornings about what joy it brought all of us to sit together in the parlor of my sisters’ farmhouse where my dad grew up, watching the swirling snowflakes dance outside the window, and celebrate this advent season through the Connected Christmas curriculum! These are memories we will cherish forever and new traditions we will continue for years to come! We can’t wait to do your Christmas Around the World curriculum next year! Thank you again!
