Yoon's Christmas/hot stuff

Why does Yoon's mom and dad don't want her to celebrate? Because they are poor and they don't want her to feel that she needs to have a poor Christmas. Another reason is that her mom and dad don't want her to turn out to be bossy about her present.

Why does her dad keep on saying we are Korean family when somebody in my classroom said that they celebrate Christmas. And there are two people in my classroom who celebrate the same Christmas like the United States. That's what I don't understand.

What did Yoon and her classmate have in common?
They both believe in Christams and she has more friends to play and laugh and talk about Christams books.

the sequel to yoons christmas mitten

i think if i made the sequel the teacher's class and the class teacher will not do alot of christmas assignments so yoon doesnt get left out again so bye!

Illustrations

I illustrations are really detailed and made you think and in the once scene that had her bed made me wonder if her bed was really like that . . .not out in the open but the really high arches. The pictures were realistic but with the materials the artist used it kind of made it like a dream and it was all kind of blurry. It made me think a lot because instead of being from some one else's perspective it was like seeing into Yoon's mind. I that because it made me think about what she was thinking. I think what happened with the illustrations that as Yoon was getting madder the pictures were getting darker and when she was happier the pictures seemed like everything was better . . .when she was angry the pictures had like reddish tinge to them. What stands out to me is that Yoon knew they hang up stockings but she hung up a mitten. She knew they hung up stockings by the fireplace and she knew she couldn't so she made the best of it and hung the mitten by the edge of her bed.

yoon-----crourage

i think yoon had a lot courage to stand up for cristmas and i know this sounds like a gushy commerical but it's true

I think that Yoon wanted to do something different and get to know the new culture better.
And thats why she wanted Christmas. And that her classmates liked and it seemed cool so she wanted to try it out and see if it was fun. I think that at first Yoons parents were beenig a little harsh because all she wanted was Christmas, and her parents didn't want her to. I liked the pictures in the book because they were great and colorfull and they went along with the story and they make you think about the story.

Sincerly,

IF I COULD HELP SOMEONE FROM A DIFFERENT COUTRY I WOULD HELP THEM WITH EVERYTHING POSSIBLE LIKE CHR.ISTMAS AND HOW IT GOES.

what i think about this book

Christmas has always been one of my favorite holidays. I don't believe that Santa would actually ride on a sledge and climb into those chimneys, but i do believe that on Christmas days, there are people who are as kind as Santa Claus that will bring us gifts and fortune. These people may be our mom and dad, or it could be anyone who loves us and who we love. I think it is nice of Yoon's parents to accept her idea of being both American and Korean. The true meaning of Christmas should not be whether it's an American holiday or Korean holiday, but about the love we share on that day :D

I loved the book, because it was about Christmas, one of my favorite holidays. Yoon's parents don't believe in Christmas because they are from a different country but she convinced them differently because now they live in America. She convinved them because she kept on trying to have Santa Claus come to her house and give her presents. It seems like after Christmas Yoon just went up and started talking without any guidance. She was talking about her culture and the New Year's celebration. She showed them what presents she got. She told them Santa brought her some of the North Pole and the students corrected her and told her to take a lick and how good it was. She didn't understand but the teacher told her. It seems that just a simple candy cane was a special gift for her because it was her first Christmas. She didn't give up trying when her parents told her they can't have Christmas.

SNOOPY PIPER

Yoons family does not celebrate chirstmas only new years yoon just kept trying to convince her mother and father to let her keep the stoking up

The Christmas Mitten

I think the book is about a girl who likes the spirit of Christmas and her Parents won't alow it. I think Yoon's parents are not fond of Christmas in the begining and then start to like it as Yoon starts to like Christmas more and more.

Bye :]

the book

i think yoon was curious all about christmas and yoon didnt know any thing about christmas. yoon's mom and dad at first were very mean and strict about their heritege in my opinion.yoon's school was doing alot of activities about christmas.i laughed alot wgen yoons mom jumped back ithink she never saw a squirrel before shes was really scared and yoons mom and dad really care about their bushes.i thought kareans celebrated christmas?it all changed when yoon told her parents they were both american and korean.then they thought about it.when yoon saw santa(her dad) put the box on the floor she got soooo excited and what was in it.i think her dad or mom got her that dress.i couldnt believe yoon thought a peppermint was part of the north pole.when she ate the peppermint i think she loved it.since the book is about christmas i dont think reindeer or santa is real.and at the end it all worked out!!! j-t1pp3r

......I LOVE CHRISTMAS......

i love this book very much.because of its story,pictures,and the belief in Christmas.

just like the girl in the story,i believe in santa and the christmas story.i believe santa exists not because i think he really will bring me present (that is always mamy who gives presents).but because i think there are always good things happening on christmas day.

it is always difficult for parents to believe in fairy tales.but i think they cant just break children's imagination.they need to protect their children's childhoodbecause it will be the happiest time in our lives.

I have an experience...

I have do the same thing before.
Last year, I wanted to join a club which may took many time away and had no time to study. But the lessions in that class are very useful and fun! But my mom didn't let me to go. But I didn't listen to my mom's words (I'm so bad...) and signed up. And my mom gave in to me!!!
I think doggedness is really effective when you want something or to do something.
If Yan didn't insisted what she wanted, her parents may not think deeply they are Korean but in America.
