A Lonely Man's Christmas Song

Oo is BEYOND excited about Christmas. Since November, she informs me every day (multiple, multiple times each day) how many days remain until the holiday. But earlier this month, she would have to think hard and maybe even do a little counting on her fingers to figure out when her Dec. 8th birthday would arrive.

She's been cutting snowflakes from paper and reading our collection of Christmas books. She's been making shopping lists of the gifts she'd like to buy for us, but she doesn't have any idea what she'd like for Christmas (so I had to make up a wish list for her). She watches a Christmas movie or TV show everyday and wants to listen to Christmas music every night during dinner.

Christmas music... oh, how the kids love the Christmas music! Oo has even begun to write some of her own Christmas carols. I sneaked a peek at one of her song sheets, and... well... I was speechless. I scanned it in and have attached it below for you to see for yourself. Please don't mention that I've shared this with you... she gets very defensive when we correct her spelling. And honestly, I'm not even sure what she was even trying to spell here. Enjoy!
