3RD Draft "The Holidays"

the leaves are falling
changing colors
brown, red, orange, & yellow
birds flying south for the winter

pumkpin picking
carving pumpkins
apple picking
climbing trees to reach those high ones

halloween costumes
haunted houses
trick-or-treating
BOO!

thanksgiving
football game
10-course meals
turkey!

the next day
BIGGEST SHOPPING OF THE YEAR

everyone singing Christmas songs
trying to find the "right" gift
meeting Santa

writing you "wish-list" to Santa
little kids counting down the days
hoping Santa an "fit" down their chimney

New Years Eve Parties
New Years Day relaxation
1 year ending...
...a new year beginning

Valentine's Day
"special" person
hearts & flowers all over
candy heart-sayings

St. Patrick's Day
all green & white
4 leaf clovers

Easter
egg hunts
Easter Bunny
Peter Cottontail
baskets
pastel colors
pink, lavendar, blue, yellow, & green
