Celebrate Christmas with Cookies Unit Study E-book by Meredith Curtis

Looking for a faith-based unit study for December that the whole family will enjoy? Combine homeschooling with Christmas festivities and preparations. Who doesn't love Christmas cookies? Created with love, Celebrate Christmas with Cookies is jam-packed with mouth-watering, festive recipes to make and bake for Christmas. Bake and freeze cookies or make cookie mixes in a jar to give as gifts.

Enjoying unit studies in December is a way to combine learning with Christmas festivities, Christmas preparation, and gift-giving. Best of all, you make memories that last a lifetime. Each day begins with Christmas devotions, singing Christmas carols, and reading a beloved Christmas picture book. The picture books are not just great stories, but the illustrations cover a wide variety of artwork - a journey into the world of art, as well as storyland. Christmas carol lyrics are in the back of the unit study (music). Other activities include writing poems, wrapping gifts, crafting, playing games, and planning parties. Combine Christmas with learning to have a productive and pleasant holiday season. Enjoy!
