Today was 100th Day at school. I don't remember ever celebrating the 100th day of school when I was growing up, but now it's a big thing. Just about everything we did was connected to the number 100 or counting to 100. For example, in math, I gave each kid a pile of Cheerios and a piece of string, and they made necklaces with 100 Cheerios each. It was pretty sweet. Anyway, one of the students made a comment, as we were sitting there chatting and stringing Cheerios, about 100 Christmas carols. I replied that I didn't think I knew 100 Christmas carols. But it got me thinking. Do I know 100 Christmas carols? Not a chance. Do I know 100 Christmas songs? Probably not, but that's not going to stop me from trying. . .
