[Greetings from Gracieland](http://greetingsfromgracieland.com/) is a fantastic new webstrip from Jimmy Gownley and Ellen Toole Austin. Jimmy and Ellen have graciously agreed to share their talents with our readers for a feature I know your whole family will enjoy! Along with the comic, you'll find "Table Talk", a terrific conversation starter to share with your children. Be sure to visit [www.GreetingsFromGracieland.com](http://greetingsfromgracieland.com/)for more great Gracie and join us here each Thursday morning for a new feature! LMH*

**Table Talk for All I Want For Christmas**

*We would like to encourage you to share a family meal and Gracieland together. Each week we will be posting some discussion starters that you can share with your family. Share the webstrip with your kids, grab a plate, pull up a chair, and talk.*

Ask your child:

Why is Gracie disappointed?

Tell me about a time when you were disappointed?

Do you think teachers sometimes play favorites?

Who would you most want to be in the Christmas play?
