Holiday/December/Winter Read aloud?

[iteach4th]

Does anyone have a great winter or holiday read aloud? I'm just about ready to begin a new book, and I'd like it to be finished by Christmas break.

Any ideas??

Thanks!

Holiday read

The Family Under the Bridge is very good and is not very long.

Last Holiday Concert by Clements would be seasonal....

Family Under the Bridge!!

Yes! I agree with The Family Under the Bridge! They just had them in Scholastic's book order for 95 cents so I bought a class set. We are going to begin reading it as a class on Monday.

Have you ever heard of Christmas Spurs by Bill Wallace? It's a sweet and sad story about a boy losing his brother to lukemia. The kids loved it though.

Any more???

I'd love to hear some more ideas for a good winter/holiday read aloud.

I do need to be careful...I have a boy who recently lost his father, so I'd rather our books be more lighthearted and not deal with death. I, too, love the Family Under the Bridge and Christmas Spurs, but I'm looking to find more of a "fun" read aloud right now.

Any more great winter/holiday books out there?? Please help!
