If anyone lives in Santa Fe - stop by the new Beehive Kids Bookstore on Montezuma - it's a charming children's bookstore, and there's a grown-up's section too.<br /><br />Donna, just received and read your story - so wonderful! Just the right holiday spirit. I spent 7 years in AZ and always struggled with the holidays that didn't seem like holidays! I needed your son to straighten me out...<br /><br />Merry merry ChristmasMelissa Ann Goodwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13454907380469372468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-25169371035243527782011-12-04T09:58:38.383-06:002011-12-04T09:58:38.383-06:00Hi Sally,

The library was our favorite hang out. My son was recently telling me that he has me to thank for being a reader and a free thinker.

My son and I still share books. On his Thanksgiving break he gave me "Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynaman!" required in his research class. It isn't one I would pick but I'll read it just so we can talk about it. Kudos to Jenny Milchman for sharing.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05758737470750841665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-84140283490006722322011-12-02T22:27:44.009-06:002011-12-02T22:27:44.009-06:00Hi Melissa,

The younger kiddos in my carpool are also big readers. It's inspiring to realize new generations are falling in love with reading.<br />DonnaDonna Volkenannthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540727800410234483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-65752734922720600182011-12-02T14:22:43.211-06:002011-12-02T14:22:43.211-06:00I so love this idea!

So at Christmas, we always bought one book (okay, two) to read during the holidays. Makes me smile, thinking of the Cajun Christmas, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Corduroy's Christmas...hmmmm. I'm just now seeing a trend in the books the kids picked. ;-)Cathy C. Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16491874468936336577noreply@blogger.com
