Every year on this date, my mom would ask me, “Do you know what today is?”
“Christmas? Almost Christmas? The beginning of Christmas?”
I eventually learned that December 7th has nothing to do with Christmas. Go here for an article by Maggie Hogan on commemorating this “date which will live in infamy” in your homeschool.
The book Early Sunday Morning: The Pearl Harbor Diary of Amber Billows, Hawaii, 1941 by Barry Denenberg is one of the Dear America series from Scholastic. Go here for more information on the book and some activities to accompany it.
It’s also my oldest BIL’s birthday. I feel there’s some connection there. 😉
My sister-in-law’s birthday, you mean. 🙂 Her brothers were fond of teasing her about “a day that will live in infamy.”
