Dear Parents and Staff,
This past weekend I again watched the students’ Holiday Performance via my Blog. While watching the videos, a quote from the movie Elf kept replaying in my brain, “The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear.” I don’t just think of it as Christmas cheer but holiday cheer for one and all.
Elf is one of my favorite movies to watch during the holiday season. It speaks to the joy one can experience as an adult when he/she tries to see the world through the eyes of a child. Over the holiday break please take time to be a kid again. If we get snow, go sledding, throw snowballs, or make a snowman. Locate your old toys or play with children’s, nephews, nieces, or friend’s kid’s dolls, action figures or board games. Enjoy a favorite holiday movie or one from when you were little. Make a play-date to get together with family, friends, or call someone you haven’t talked to in a long time. Dance around the house singing 1980’s music or any other fun music that reminds you of your childhood. Get a group of friends together and play touch football. Most importantly, take some time to have fun. I truly believe that when everyone on earth begins to look at the world through the eyes of a child we will have peace on earth and goodwill towards all.
I would like to wish everyone a fun, safe and most joyful holiday break!
Yours Truly,
John Lyons

P.S. I would not suggest showing the movie Elf to your own children prior to viewing it yourself to see if you deem it appropriate to show to your children.
