[ActivityVillage.co.uk]( Tuesday 12th December We had a Glitch! My huge apologies to anyone who has clicked on a link at the website over the last few days and found this ...

[Have you seen our Christmas pencil control pages?]( A Little Something ... What I Should Like by Jennie D. Moore On Christmas Eve I'd like to lie Awake, when stars are in the sky, And listen to the sound that swells From Santa Claus's jingling bells. I'd like to hear upon the roof The patter of each tiny hoof Of Santa's reindeer overhead, When I am snug and warm in bed. But Mamma says I must not lie Awake, or he will pass me by; He does not like the girls or boys To watch him when he brings the toys. I think I'd better go to sleep. I guess the presents all will keep, Then in the morning I shall be Glad to think I did not see. "Christmas gift suggestions: To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect." Oren Arnold "Christmas! The very word brings joy to our hearts. No matter how we may dread the rush, the long Christmas lists for gifts and cards to be bought and given - when Christmas Day comes there is still the same warm feeling we had as children, the same warmth that enfolds our hearts and our homes."
