Winter Fun in the "Fall"

So, Winter doesn't officially start until Sunday...
We have never been out of school for more than two days.
We read online at 10:30 that it is official. No school.
I have done all I can to entertain this bunch, and Christmas
break was supposed to start today after school.
The house has never been more decked out for Christmas.
My parents were supposed to be here today, but they are stuck in
Las Vegas. We have been dipping chocolates and making candy and cookies all week.
Hopefully someone other than me will eat it. augh!
