The following children’s books are our top picks to read together every year on Christmas Eve.
Snowden written by Nancy Carlson
This book is aimed at pre-school to the third-grade children, but can be enjoyed by many older children as well. Snowden is the story of a little girl and the snowman she makes that magically comes to life. Together, the two learn to ice-skate and discover that “a little magic and a lot of practice” can make all the difference in the world. The story is heart-touching and sweet.
The Polar Express written by Chris Van Allsburg
A young boy cannot sleep on Christmas Eve and is swept away by a steam engine on a trip to the North Pole. During the adventure, the message is that believing will keep you young at heart. The bell that the boy receives and his belief are both touching. The illustrations leave enough to the imagination to make it easy to fall into the story yourself.
A Snowman Named Just Bob Written by Mark Kimball Moulton

When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when she was out of the
water, she opened her eyes.
Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera. An ambulance came later. Duret caught a train with his girlfriend shortly after.

I know from your letter that you are upset recently because your parents don’t allow you to surf the Internet and hope you spend all the time on your study. I understand how you are feeling now, so I’m writing to offer my advice.
It is really boring to do homework all day without having a rest. I think maybe you consider surfing the Internet as a way to relax yourself. So do I.
However, you should also understand that as parents, they love us very much and care about our study. As far as they are concerned, we should focus our attention on our study instead of wasting time in surfing the Internet.
As for how to solve this problem, I suggest that you should have a heart-to-heart talk with your parents, which can help you understand each other better. Maybe they will allow you to surf the Internet once in a while. I think it is important to develop a pleasant relationship with our parents whatever happens.
I wish you have a good mood and I am looking forward to your early reply.
Yours, Linda
