No Scrooges This Season! I've Got the Christmas Spirit! by Connie Schoefield-Morrison

There are wreaths in every window and snow on every windowsill on this girl's street, as she skips down the sidewalk with her mother for some Christmas shopping.

I HEARD THE SPIRIT IN THE AIR--DING DONG DING!

She's been saving up the spirit all through the year and now the season for it is here!

There are carolers caroling and skaters whooshing around the rink! There are colored lights blinking from every shop window, with store Santa's Ho-Ho-Ho-ing and corner Santas ding-ding-dinging over their kettles, asking for gifts for the needy. And, oh, my golly! Is that the aroma of chestnuts roasting?

'Tis the season to be jolly and this spirited girl feels it in her happy nose and dancing toes.

GOOD TIDINGS AND CHEER TO ALL THROUGH THE YEAR!

Shoo, Scrooge! Go away, Grinch! All is merry and bright! Daddy's back and it's time to start celebrating, in Connie Schofield-Morrison's I Got the Christmas Spirit (Bloomsbury Books). Author Connie Schofield-Morrison's cheery and spirited heroine is back in a story for those who love everything about the season. What's not to like at Christmas, and she throws herself fully into the joys of the holiday. As in their other collaborations, I Got the School Spirit and I Got the Rhythm, Connie and Frank Morrison's ebullient heroine echews holiday angst a la Charlie Brown, but meets the season full of holly jollity with a glad FA, LA, LA!
