[LM_NET] ELEM: Holiday book needed!

["Barb Parfitt, MLS" <storytime39@COMCAST.NET>]

Help! I have a request from my principal that I can't seem to think of.  She is 
wanting a "holiday-ish" sort of story to read to 4th grade.  One that is 
appropriate for sharing the importance of diverse beliefs or a funny one that is 
not religion-based in any way.

We do have a diverse community and I am finding that it is difficult to share 
December holiday stories.  Diwali (India) is in October, Ramadan (Middle East) is 
in November.  When I talk about Hanukkah and Christmas I have quite a few kids that 
don't celebrate either.

So what books can anyone recommend for a "holiday-ish" (her words) book?
TIA
