Music, Book, Movie
When celebrating the Christmas season (because it’s not
over!), if I had to name a favorite, only one per category, it would be –
Music:
O Holy Night –
performed by any artist (as I’ve never heard it sung poorly) is on top of my
chart.
Book:
I’ll never forget ~ now 15 years ago ~ reading aloud, The Polar Express, by Chris Van
Allsburg.
I read it without a microphone across a filled-to-capacity
room that doubled as our cafeteria/auditorium in the local public charter
school where I served as Director of Library Services. Over 75% of our students
were in the CPS system, many with emotional and learning challenges. You could
hear a pin drop while this mixed audience of teachers, staff, parents,
guardians, and 50-60 Pre-K to 12th grade students listened to this
wonderful story filled with symbolism!
I highly recommend, The Polar Express – the book!
Movie:
It’s not the “traditional” Christmas movie, but I thoroughly
enjoy watching year after year, A Christmas Kiss! The writers did a brilliant job showing how good overcomes
evil/greed!
What is your favorite music, book, movie when celebrating
Christmas?
