The best place to anticipate Christmas is in elementary school. The kids aren't weighed under by shopping lists and decorating plans and the incredible pressure to spend so much. They are just plain excited. And the best place in elementary school to anticipate Christmas is the Grade 5 homeroom. I don't know why but it is true. The cut-out snowflakes. The early dusk that brings the Christmas lights taped around the teacher's desk and strung amidst the bare park trees outside to a neon pop. The chalk-written list on the board: Fun Things To Do: #1 nitting (spelled without a 'k') #2 yelling at the TV #3 going to Australia.
