Here is a family in Honduras that are thrilled with their package of books!  They received “Call of the Wild”, “Tea with Ruby”, “Santa Mouse”, “Inside Outside Upside Down”, along with a few others.   I am about to cry, because they are so cute!

Christmas Book Tree

I found this idea on Pinterest to make a Christmas Tree out of books! I had to take it down and put it back up about 3 times, but i finally got it looking a bit like a tree. You have to have an engineering degree to get this right! Look for the falling book at 1:30. It was exhausting hauling all the books around, but sooooooo much fun!!!

If you try it out, please link your video or photo below in the comments. I would love to see if your tree turns out better than mine! Merry Christmas!
