Traditions

Traditions are things we do every year. For example in my family on your birthday mom would make you a special meal and the cake of your choice. The birthday person didn't have to do any chores on that day. With holiday coming let's talk about holiday traditions. Do you put out cookies for Santa? Do you open one present on Christmas eve? Talk about one tradition that you have in your family.

Presents

Presents are GREAT! It's that time of year when many people are thinking about gifts. They are thinking about giving gifts and receiving gifts. Some gifts are big and cost a lot of money and some gifts are very small and don't cost anything at all. Think about the gifts you have received in the past. There are two things I want you to think about. The best gift you ever got.. and a gift you gave that did not cost anything. For example the best gift I ever got were a pair of cowboy boots when I was in high school. And the best gift I ever gave that did not cost anything was a special plaque I made for my mom. She really liked it!! Before you write talk about this in a group!!

My hero is...

A hero is someone you look up to and admire. A hero is a person you like or does something you that helps you or another person. A hero can be a parent, a friend, a mentor, a sports figure, a religious figure, or someone else. Who is your hero?
