Merriment fills the air,
As we gather with friends to share,
Our favorite traditions of the season,
Passed down from generation to generation.

The Shamash candle we light with care,
To light up the Menorah's flare,
And spin the Dreidel with great delight,
As we enjoy the Hanukkah night.

Ornaments hang from the tree so bright,
As we welcome Christmas with all our might,
And the Kinara candles we light with grace,
As we celebrate Kwanzaa's special place.

New Year's Eve brings a resolution,
To make our dreams a clear solution,
As we welcome the year with cheer,
And say goodbye to the one that's near.

So let's embrace the holidays with glee,
And all the joy they bring, you'll see,
As we come together, near and far,
To celebrate the traditions that are.

Reflections

1. How did the boy feel when he first discovered the magic pencil, and what did he draw?
2. What happened to the boy's drawings after he erased them?
3. What are some of the consequences of the boy's drawings coming to life?
4. How does the boy feel when his drawings start causing problems?
5. What lesson did the boy learn from his experience with the magic pencil?
