Christmas Around the World

Hello Friends and Family,

On Thursday, December 8th 2005 Davin will be having an Italian Dinner (I will be baking my special recipe of cornbread for the event, too!) and presentation of "Christmas Around the World" at Teddy Bear Pre-School. Davin has been asked to represent his nationality in dress or costume.

Davin wants to share with you that he will be singing "Feliz Navidad", "Jingle Bells" and a song that sounds "Bon be tow wee-means Merry Christmas to You". Davin also wants you to know that the Christmas presentation "is going to be w-eally big!" Side note: When discussing Santa Claus with Davin, he has informed me that Santa brings beer to children who are naughty. So please try to stay on your best behavior!

Question: How do you think Davin should dress for nationality day?Davin's lineage is pretty colorful he is: Finnish, Czech, German, Polish, French, African-American, and Native American. Or maybe, we could dress Davin up in the style from the past?

Side Note: Did you know that adding a mixture of honey and brown sugar makes a crunchy topping for cornbread? Add this mixture to the cornbread in the last 10 minutes of baking for best results, and let it cool because the sugar will be hot!

Holiday Blessings, Lynn
