Project Christmas Spirit: Tree Topper
The top of the tree is the most important part. We used star ornaments, that I made, last year. This year I found the perfect tree topper. My santa hat. The top of our tree is a little crooked from being in the box. The hat hides that part and is so cool.

Dec 15: Santa Claus Is Coming to Town
Spoiler Alert
Christmas Movie Countdown

Christmas Movie Countdown

This is my favorite Christmas movie. My stuffed penguin Topper is named after this movie. It tells the story of an orphan who gets raised by the Kringle elf family. They used to be toy makers and they teach Kris all about it. When he grew up he took their toys to town but their was a mean mayor who didn't like toys. Kris does all kinds of tricky things to hide the toys from him. The story tells why Santa wears red and has flying reindeer and lives at the North Pole.
No matter what, Kris didn't give up. You are supposed to follow rules even if you don't think they are good rules so that was kind of naughty but I think he did a good thing.

Project Christmas Spirit: Day 2
We baked Gingerbread cookies tonight. Now I know why Santa has a big stomach. Mom didn't get any of the first batch. We made the mix and rolled the dough out. We used the cookie cutters Granny gave me to make shapes. We had Santa and a sleigh and reindeer. An angel and a Christmas star. Mom found a gingerbread man too. After we cut the cookies out I put sprinkles on them. They were so cool.

My Baby Daddy!
I made a fun E-card for my dad. You upload your own pictures and then turn someone into a baby Santa Claus. He moves around and drinks milk and stuff. Mom says I can't post a link to the video here. Here are some pictures from it. My favorite part was when baby daddy dances. You can make one of your own at http://www.americangreetings.com/channel/huggies

Bad Poetry Day!
August 18th is National Bad Poetry Day. It was made so grown up people could write bad poems and send them to their high school english teachers. I think that is silly but I wrote a bad poem anyway.
Mom is nice
Dad has lots of dice
Mom cooks me food
