We love our box of Christmas books. I'm glad we put them away and only take them out at Christmas time. It makes them special. We do that with movies and Cds too. This year (mostly because of space issues) I actually put away our other books and cds so we only have Christmas choices. It's a nice change of pace and gives me a good opportunity to not put certain books and movies back out (in plain view anyway).
Super Frog was curious about one of the books where the characters put popcorn on their tree. He thought that was silly. SO we looked it up on line. "Why do people string popcorn on their tree"
Well, in Europe people strung popcorn, cranberries and other things on trees outside for the birds. Frog decided that was a great idea. We went to pop some popcorn but then saw the cheerios and Mommy thought--wow, that would be much easier. Frog was easily convinced and so the stringing began. Little Bird liked eating them.
This is the end result. In the outside picture Frog is actually looking up at a HUGE flock of birds flying by. "Mommy, when are they going to come eat them??" It took a few days but something came by and ate lots of Cheerios.
