Senses of CHRISTmas

Write about the five senses as they relate to your CHRISTmas experiences:

• The smells of Christmas

• The sights of Christmas
  

• The sounds of Christmas
  

• The touches of Christmas
  

• The tastes of Christmas

Then find (and post) a picture to sum up all of these senses...or use a couple, if you can't find just one!!

And just for fun...click here for a countdown to Santa's arrival and to track him on CHRISTmas Eve!! And here for a fun interactive Nativity story. Then here for a "hype or history" documentary of the birth of Jesus.

Ok...enough links...but i want you to have this song to sing over the break:

The Five Senses of Christmas
(Sung to the tune of “Fr’ere Jacques”)

Looks like Christmas, looks like Christmas.
Blink, blink, blink. Blink, blink, blink.
I can see the lights. They’re such a pretty sight.
Blink, blink, blink. Blink, blink, blink.
(Movement: open and shut hands for blink, blink, blink)

Sounds like Christmas, sounds like Christmas.
Ding, ding, dong. Ding, ding, dong.
I can hear the singing. I can hear the ringing.
Ding, ding, dong. Ding, ding, dong.
(Movement: move hand like ringing a bell ding, ding, dong)

Feels like Christmas, feels like Christmas.
Hug, hug, hug. Hug, hug, hug.
I can feel the friendship. I can feel the love.
Hug, hug, hug. Hug, hug, hug.
(Movement: cross arms and hug self for hug, hug, hug)

Smells like Christmas, smells like Christmas.
Sniff, sniff, sniff. Sniff, sniff, sniff.
I can smell the pine tree.
I can smell the turkey.
Sniff, sniff, sniff. Sniff, sniff, sniff.
(Movement: put finger on nose for sniff, sniff, sniff)

Tastes like Christmas, tastes like Christmas.
Crunch, crunch, crunch. Crunch, crunch, crunch.
I can taste the cookies. I can taste the popcorn.
Crunch, crunch, crunch. Crunch, crunch, crunch.
(Movement: put finger on lips for crunch, crunch, crunch)
