Stories, Books and Life--December 2007

December 2007--The bookcases from our room have been moved to fill in empty spaces in other rooms as we have slowly begun the rearrangement/relocation of our belongings. The kids Christmas books fill 3 shelves in Josh's bedroom. Auntie Claus is a favorite--we read it a couple of times a week. The Bear Who Slept Through Christmas and the pop-up Night Before Christmas are huge favorites too. Our other books are packed into boxes labeled with "Indiana," "Ohio" or the new owners name scrawled across top and sides. We'll be downsizing our book stash. Kevin's bedside table has a James Herriot Christmas story and his iTouch resting on it. My favorite Christmas read, The Autobiography of Santa Claus, is on my side of the bed. I like to read it one chapter a night beginning December 1st. There are no cancer research papers and no cancer related books to be seen. Cancer is not invited to our celebration of Christmas.
