~ALL for the Christmas gift.  I use my new electric handwarmers almost daily.  :) 
~ALL for promoting reading.  Thank you all for your patience with sticking me to the wall.  I think the students really enjoyed being able to add a piece of tape.  Although I was feeling a little sticky and stuck...It was a great the celebration!  Thank you 'tape rippers' for all the prep work!
