Today
I found out that not everybody celebrates Chanukah.
In fact, I am the only kid in my class. My teacher,
Mrs. Davenport, told us to write a letter to Santa
telling him what we wanted. Santa who? I mean, who
is that big guy in the red suit? When
we finished our letters, Mrs. Davenport told us
to make holiday decorations. The only decorations
I have are the dreidel and the menorah. Johnny
Becker said mine were the weirdest Christmas ornaments
he’d ever seen. But what’s an ornament? |
I
looked around the room and saw all the other
kids cutting and pasting a sea of candy
canes, trees wearing jewelry, and Rudolph
- who looks kind of like a dog with a branch
on his head.
When the last
kid was done, we decorated the gym for the
holiday concert. I was so excited because
this was my first experience singing in
a group. The songs were pretty, but I was
too shy to ask whose little baby we were
singing about. |

| I
was trying to keep track of all these people; the
little baby in the manger, the big guy in the red
suit and a King somebody. The King guy really threw
me, ‘cause I learned this year that we have
a president of the United States. Nobody mentioned
that we have a King, too. |
