Kidz Bop Christmas Party CD Give Away
Christmas is right away the corner! Christmas music always gets me in the holiday spirit. I love listening to music while I’m decorating and baking for the holiday seasonb but my favorite part of the holidays is enjoying the kids. There’s nothing better than seeing the excitement of the holidays in my grandson’s eyes. He loves baking cookies and making crafts with Mama. I’ve been given the opportunity to review the Kidz Bop Christmas Party CD and it is the bomb. It would be perfect playing in the background while the kids decorate the Christmas tree, color Christmas pictures, help you bake cookies or wrap gifts for grandma and granddaddy. Being a grandmother, I just had to throw that hint in, lol.
I love the Kidz Bop CDs and this one did not disappoint. Christmas Party is loaded with holiday favorites like Deck The Halls, Jingle Bell Rock, and Silver Bells. My favorite is All I Want For Christmas Is You. It gets Mama moving and my grandson laughing. He loves to dance with me.

Coach Motives Kids In Cemetary – WTH?
Parents of a JV football team in a New York town are livid. Why? They lost a game, and the coach thought a good motivator would be to take the team to a cemetary on the way home. Lesson to be learned? I have no idea. His explanation was that Denzel Washington used the cemetary to motivate his football team in the movie Remember the Titans and he tried to adopt the idea.
Dah! What happened to having a conversation with the children? I really worry about our children and the education system in this country tonight. Some educators don’t seem to think and some don’t seem to care. The coach instructed the driver to pull over and demanded that the 24 players lay down between 2 rows of graves. The lesson that he was trying to teach the children supposely was about the importance of playing hard. How he connected a cemetary to that idea is beyond me. Play hard or die?
Can you image the horror those kids must have been feeling. He told the parents, “My only thought was to bring them to a realization of what a great thing it is to be able to play football with your friends, and how great it would be to work hard and triumph the following Saturday.”
The coach was suspended 2 weeks. He did offer his resignation; however, the school board refused to accept it. Apparently he is a good teacher and is well liked. The school board thought he just made a poor decision.
I hope none of the children suffer any negative repercussions as a result of this ploy. If your child had been involved would you have demanded his resignation?
