    Link and a Quote: Drummer Boy by Loren Long

    Link and a Quote is my version of a coffee break with a good piece of cake …

    Link: Tis’ the season to be jolly. Or is it, yet? Well, I am here to tell you that if Christmas brings joy, it’s never too early! Franki, from a Year of Reading, just got her Christmas groove on, and has posted on my favorite 2008 holiday book (so far), Drummer Boy by Loren Long.

    Quote: And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood
    puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It
    came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he
    puzzled and puzzled ’till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought
    of something he hadn’t before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t
    come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more. ~ Dr. Seuss.

      What an honor to be your link on the Link and a Quote show…again!!! Whether we’re the good coffee (actually, we would both probably rather be the hot tea) or the cake, it’s nice to start the day here!
