At the Oh, Christmas Tree storytime on December 20th, Miss Kim and Miss Stephanie needed volunteers to help with a Christmas song.
Miss Kim sang about a mouse's "Twelve Days of Christmas," while the volunteers showed each "gift" from the song.
	The "gifts" included flapping wrens, nuts for nibbling and a firefly in a fir tree.
After storytime, everyone got to make neat Christmas tree hats.
	We had a great turnout for the annual teen program, Manga Madness! Besides learning more about Japan, we got to meet others like us who  love all things Japanese.
We got a small taste of Japan, with our "bento box" snacks. We've all had ramen noodles before, but for some this was their first taste of tofu. It was surprisingly tasty!
	We also got to try our hand at a traditional Japanese craft by making an origami ball.   Later we got to test our knowledge of Japan by playing a game of Jeopardy. It's amazing how much you can learn by reading manga!   Everyone was so excited, we can wait until the next program.
