Christmas on Main Street

This year for the third time I played Mrs. Claus in the annual Christmas on Main Street celebration in Westhampton Beach. Although the wig is itchy and the sweater is really ugly, I enjoy entering into the holiday spirit. This year was cold and between the children coming for storytime and the dogs coming in to have pictures with Santa, chaos reigned. Despite the craziness, there is something about the sound of carollers and the decorated trees and the earnest children asking how Santa can see them when they are sleeping. I hope your holidays are relatively stress free and full of moments of joy and wonder (and no outlandish costumes!)

Rabbit Food

I sometimes say that I devour books or that I just eat them up. Oddly enough in my house we have a creature that literally eats books. Our lovely bunny enjoys a little literary nosh when allowed. So we keep the bottom shelf of the bookcase just for Bunny. Sometimes it is hard to decide what warrants banishment to the bunny shelf. Sometimes it is just a book that I know I will never read, sometimes it is a book that I have kept in the car so long that the glue has melted and the pages have fallen out, sometimes my motives are downright vindictive. If I really disliked a book.....onto the bunny shelf it goes.

This may be seen as animal abuse if Bunny could actually read (and I am preceding from the belief that he never learned).  As to paper and texture, I believe that books are fairly similar. But are they? Sometimes Bunny will just eat the cover of a book and ignore the pages. Sometimes he will make his way well into a book. Tonight he was eating Who Cares by Dee Marrella.  Sara says this means that he has deep inner thoughts.  I wonder......
