I’ve challenged my 6th graders to a Slice-A-Day during our winter break…I will attempt to keep up with the challenge as well!

Twas two nights before the holiday - my birthday as well
Not a creature was healthy, one by one we fell
The stockings and tree were up, the gifts were wrapped
In hopes that by Christmas, the germs would be zapped

The children were taking turns with the virus
While visions of sleep passed on, right by us
And mamma passed out saltines, and ginger ale too
While we all patiently waited to feel healthy anew

When the holidays come, in just two days time
I hope we can spring from our beds, feeling just fine
We'll fly down the steps, and drink the coffee we need
Who will be the first to feel 100%? Who will take the lead?
