Thanksgiving Day will soon be here.
We celebrate it every year.
Family, friends gather near.
To give thanks for what is dear.
Pilgrims, Indians gathered round,
Sitting at tables, not on the ground.
For three whole days they feasted on -
Deer, turkeys, beans, squash, and fish,
Cornbread, berries and corn soup in a dish.
Pilgrims thanked their Indian friends
For their help in this new land.
The year was 1621,
Today we say . . .
The 4th Thursday XX is Thanksgiving XX.
The 4th Thursday XX is Thanksgiving XX.
Let's give thanks!

December Chant
By Sandy Tuttle
X=clap
De-cem-ber X, De-cem-ber X (recite twice)
December is sensational!
Smells of Christmas in the air.
Candles burning by the pair.
Gingerbread, pine, peppermints,
Lots of lovely Christmas scents.
Taste the ginger, sample the mint,
Lick the frosting - colored a Christmas tint.
Touch the needles on the tree,
Hug your friends for you and me.
Bells a-ringing,
People singing,
Listen to the drummer pound,
Aren't these all such joyful sounds?
What a sight on Christmas morn -
Presents that will soon be torn!
Stockings filled with all sorts of things,
That dear old Santa chose to bring.
De-cem-ber X, De-cem-ber X (recite twice)
December is sensational!
