All right folks, it's a week late, but it is time for the Christmas Giveaway. Up for grabs are these lovely items:
- Wee Sing For Christmas (CD & Book of Lyrics)
- Mr. Christmas by Roger Hargreaves
- Little Miss Christmas by Roger Hargreaves
I was so excited when I saw this CD that I bought one for my classroom and one for this giveaway. I will admit, I don't love it as much as I thought I would, though my students are big fans. The first half of the CD has religious songs, and the last half is the Santa stuff. If you have kids, they will probably like it!
