Holiday Homeschooling: Part 1

It's that time of the year again!  Tis the season for celebrations, baking, and traditions.  While December brings Christmas cheer, it can also bring much stress and good old fashion guilt trips.  Homeschooling moms usually feel overwhelmed this time of the year as less and less school work gets accomplished.  If this describes you, or you are looking for a less stressful way to do school this holiday season, join Carrie for this week's podcast.  In this week's coffee break, Carrie gives homeschooling mamas permission to take a Sabbath break and explains how to take the entire month of December off from traditional lessons to focus on the birth of Jesus.  Carrie shares how to use your traditions and your usual Christmas hustle and bustle as your "school work" and shares with you how much reading, writing, math, science, and art you are already doing during the month of December.  And for those moms who just can't fathom the idea of taking an entire month off of school work, she even gives some easy, fun, and educational activities you can do during the month to replace those formal lessons.  Pour yourself a mug of peppermint mocha latte or a cup of winter chai tea.  You will be inspired by this week's podcast, it will ease your December guilt, and it will definitely put you into the holiday spirit.
