Hey guys, this is Elizabeth here, and I just wanted to give you a few tips to keep your reading and writing skills fresh every holiday season.
1. Keep a book by your bed at night. Reading at night helps you get tired so you can drift off to sleep in a happy state.
2. Read a holiday classic every week, or a holiday picture book to your younger siblings.
3. Try writing a poem or a story for a relative's present. I'm sure they will treasure it forever!
4. Go to your local library on a day when you have nothing going on and the day is to dreary play outside.
5. Try snuggling up in a big blanket with a book and a cup of hot cocoa. Turn on some Christmas carols to set the mood.
6. Keep the holiday cheer going and wish everyone a HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
7. HAVE A FUN TIME!
