A very witty and funny book telling the story of four mischievous siblings that drove their school mates and teachers nuts and made life hard for the rest of the town; till one day they were needed to help out in the yearly Christmas pageant in which came they came through in a big way.

Truman Capote was a devil in person, but he could write like an angel. Your get-together with the neighbor was lovely, simple and meaningful. A Christmas Memory is my favorite Christmas book.

Parents can never, never get enough of the "You did something right" moments. We don't have a tree up this year b/c we're going out of town for Christmas, but last weekend: I got out The Book. It's just as lovely as it ever was. And, fyi, it's available on Amazon! Anne, thanks so much for the story. Parents can never, never get enough of the “You did something right” moments.

You're right: MUCH more soulful than simply pawning off some banana bread. The gift of conversation is wonderful. My friend, Paris, and I went to tea last Friday, just because it was Christmas, and it was lovely. And, I think you may have inadvertently inspired another post for me, too :) PS: I love that your mom hauls out holiday books as decorations! What a great story, Anne!
