A Merry Christmas: And Other Christmas Stories | 
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas! 🎄❄️🤶
pickThe final story in this Louisa May Alcott collection of Christmas stories is as good as the rest. Widowed Mrs Podges rents a room to Mr ‘Rusalem, who‘s besotted with her. He finally wins her heart by bringing home an orphan boy desperate for kindness, food, and a real Christmas. And this makes the ingredients of an ideal family. I loved this collection. I‘ve never read Alcott before, thinking it‘d be stodgy and boring. It was beautiful. ❤️🤶🌲
“And when women set their hearts on anything, it is a known fact that they seldom fail to accomplish it.” From the story Mrs Podgers‘ Teapot in the tagged book.

As a child I believed with all my heart that animals could talk to humans upon the stroke of midnight on Christmas Eve. But I never could stay awake long enough to find out. In this story Rosa the horse gets to tell her tale for an hour upon the stroke of midnight. I absolutely loved it.
Two girls living in desperate poverty lamented they couldn‘t do more for their younger siblings for Christmas. Their almost equally poor neighbors heard them through the thin walls. So all the neighbors in the apartment building chipped in to make it the most unforgettable Christmas ever. This book of short stories has not disappointed yet. I just love the stories so much!!
Third to last story in this book. Dang, this was $1.99 well spent. I love these stories! #holidayread #wintergames2021 #mistletoemaniacs #anywayyoureadathon #averymerryreadathon #dashingdecember @Clwojick @Andrew65 @TheSpineView
This was a very short story. Tilly and her mother are very poor and have barely enough milk and bread for Christmas. But Tilly is a happy girl, kind, & good-natured. When she saves a freezing robin in the snow, her kind act rewards her in surprising ways. #holidayread #wintergames2021 #mistletoemaniacs #anywayyoureadathon #averymerryreadathon #dashingdecember @Clwojick @Andrew65 @TheSpineView
Oh how I loved this story. An orphan girl is finally chosen by a family after 13 sad years being skipped over at the orphanage. But she‘s only been chosen to be a servant to the family that chose her. How her dreams come true on Christmas is the beautiful part of this story. #holidayread #wintergames2021 #mistletoemaniacs #anywayyoureadathon #averymerryreadathon #dashingdecember @Clwojick @Andrew65 @TheSpineView
Next up while I await my turn to get my haircut. Cure for boredom? Always have a book ready to read! #holidayread #wintergames2021 #mistletoemaniacs #anywayyoureadathon #averymerryreadathon #dashingdecember @Clwojick @Andrew65 @TheSpineView
The second story is so sweet. Kate, a rich English lass, has been left orphaned. She must decide with which of her American relatives she will live, the families of four uncles or a lonely grandmother who lives out in the country. After she‘s made her decision she then embarks on creating beautiful Christmas memories for all.
I‘ve finished the first story in the book, Christmas Day from Little Women when the girls share their breakfast with the hungry family down the road and put on an uproarious play. It was quite fun. #holidayread. #wintergames2021 #mistletoemaniacs #anywayyoureadathon #averymerryreadathon #dashingdecember @Clwojick @Andrew65 @TheSpineView

Thank you so so much for this! I Love It!!!🥰
Love these Penguin Christmas editions. I have a collection of Trollope stories in this series that are funny and heartwarming. This collection is very moralistic but lovely, readable Christmas classics. Have a wonderful holiday, everyone! #merrychristmas

Thanks so much for the gorgeous Christmas cards #jb friends!! Sorry I wasn‘t able to get any out this year. Goals for the next time!! @Kdgordon88 @kaye @Lovesbooks87 @throwmeabook @BookwormAHN
pickWell this was charming! Just this side of sentimental to still be enjoyable! Like a warm mug of cocoa, covered in whipped cream & marshmallows, on a cold day! Cozy! 😊 ☕️
pickThese are sweet stories that, due no doubt to the countless times I read Little Women and An Old Fashioned Girl when I was young, take me right back to my childhood. These have really put me in the Christmas spirit.
I'm home from running tons of errands and ready to dive into these Christmas stories.
This is a very pretty little book!

Woke up this morning and couldn‘t believe the temperature held and we got to have a White Christmas after all! For a few hours at least 😄
Presents are done here and everyone is happy. 🙏🏻
I‘ve lit up my new candles in celebration of another successful year (and to encase the house in cinnamon scent... 😉).
Time to relax! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE.
Merry Christmas my fellow Littens. Hope you have a wonderful day.
Merry Christmas!!🎄🎅🏻🤶🏻❤️💚
Merry Christmas to all my Litsy buddies.
Merry Christmas everyone!
The calm before the storm.
Wishing all who celebrate a very Merry Christmas! ☺️

First of December calls for Christmas books! My mum actually gave me these for Christmas last year, and I've been looking forward to reading them all year long! #seasonsreadings2017 #itsbeginning
pickThis was a selection of seven stories, all with a Christmas theme. Most dealt with the idea of poverty, the wish for a merrier Christmas and happier times, and making those wishes come true. It was a lovely book to read around the holidays and certainly emphasized the idea of being grateful and thankful. 3/5 ⭐️
