It's Christmas. I hope you are having a wonderful day with your family and this little Christmas post will share a little bit of seasonal joy with you. I have some fun (if belated) holiday links to share, plus Swapna sent in a great tip about a huge sale at the Disney Store.

I also want to thank VTech Toys for working with me to provide some of their great toys to the children of Nazareth Houses. I'm sure that made their Christmas mornings to get such awesome gifts. And I have some news about how you can help raise money for a NYC public school library. It could even be yours.

I've done calendars, lunch boxes, and home made photo printed cookies in recent years. This year I decided to do coloring books.
