Spelling Errors… In a Spelling Book!

So today Veronica was filling in the blanks in a short story for her spelling. And she noticed that one of the words in the spelling book had been typed incorrectly. So Veronica simply corrected the error with her pencil and moved on.

On the Second Day of Christmas My Family Gave to Me…

Five Christmas Pencils!

That’s right, every year we get twelve gifts, but not all of them are big gifts per se.  Like everyone else we get knick knacks and stocking stuffers, but instead of overlooking, or largely not appreciating,  these small gifts in the frenzy of the Christmas day unwrapping madness, we have a whole day to revel  in and treasure these gifts.  So while twelve days of gift giving doesn’t make any of the small gifts bigger it does make them a seem bigger.  In fact, as my sister Anne said, “Pencil Day is traditional and it just wouldn’t be Christmas without Pencil Day.”
