Ceci is so excited! Now that she's old enough for kindergarten, her mother has decided that this year the first posada before Christmas will be at Ceci's house, and there will even be a piñata!

Left outside the theater during a performance of A Christmas Story; released for NancyNova's December Christmas Challenge, DragonGoddess's What's in a Name challenge, and my D for December challenge.

I'm so glad you've found this book!

Won't you please make a journal entry to let the book's previous readers know that it's safely in your hands? How did you find it? What did you think of it? What are you going to do with it next?

It's now your book, for you to do with as you please: keep it, pass it to a friend, or maybe even leave it where someone else can find it!

If you've ever wondered where your books go after they leave your hands, join BookCrossing and you may find out: you'll be able to follow the further adventures of your books as new readers make journal entries - sometimes from surprisingly far-flung locations.

(Think of it like Where's George for books...or a little like geocaching - you can follow the book's journey every time someone makes a new entry. Some BookCrossers even leave books *in* geocaches!)

BookCrossing: making the whole world a library!

UPDATE: found and journaled - thank you very much! Hope you enjoy the book. :)

Found it at Honolulu Theatre while taking photographs of the area, and giving it to my husband, who will be returning to American Samoa, after the holidays.
