Dear StrongStart friends,<\/p>\n

I am hoping that you are finding ways to keep your hopes and spirits high in these stressful times. As always, in good times and bad times, in happy and stressful times, being with people you love makes for the best holidays no matter what you are celebrating!<\/p>\n

As we are heading into Winter vacation (StrongStart’s last day is Tuesday, December 15th), I am wishing you a lots of happy, joyous times together, even if it means just being with your immediate family. Whether you are celebrating religious or secular holidays, Diwali (that was celebrated recently), Bodhi Day, Hanukkah, Winter Solstice, Christmas, New Years or Kwanzaa or any other holiday that is coming up, it is always about light, people close to our heart and love.<\/p>\n

My wish is that we all find ways to make happy memories with our family, filled with light and love.<\/p>\n

As some of you are counting the days ’till Christmas, CLICK HERE<\/a>\u00a0 to watch a video of me reading a book “Counting to Christmas” by Nancy Tafury, published by Scholastic. I will be also singing a song “There Was a Man in Big Red Suit” (to the tune of BINGO song).<\/p>\n

Here is another book called “The Reindeer Christmas”, my favourite, that explains how Santa got to ride a magical sleigh pulled by reindeers and deliver many presents around the world. It is written by Moe Price, illustrated by Atsuko Morozumi and published by HMH Books for Young Readers. CLICK HERE<\/a> to watch the video.<\/p>\n

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and best wishes for a STRONGSTART in a New Year, and a healthy and happy 2021 year! Hope to see some of you in person next year or during our Zoom storytimes.<\/p>\n

Much love,<\/p>\n
