PJs and Hot Cocoa Days – Tuesday, December 20^th & Wednesday, December 21^st

One of our favorite Christmas traditions at preschool is our PJs and Hot Cocoa Days! We love getting cozy and watching a classic Christmas short such as How the Grinch Stole Christmas or Charlie Brown’s Christmas Special. Add a little popcorn, a warm cup of cocoa, and a class full of friends, and it makes for a beautiful time together.
