Another sweet story about a Christmas mishap that comes right! (One year I really do need to figure out a bingo game for these recurring cozy Christmas tropes.)
Today‘s #KindredSpiritsChristmas story is “The End of the Young Family Feud,” from the “Christmas with Anne” collection. It‘s also on Hoopla, or online in these collections:

One of the things that struck me in this story was how $4 could buy ice skates, 2 dolls, nuts & candy, and “a nice plump turkey.” AND…the above brought abundant Christmas joy. ❤️

“Oh, I was so nervous, Diana…Then I thought of my lovely puffed sleeves and took courage. I knew that I must live up to those sleeves, Diana.”
I love Matthew more every time I read this!

“When I first got a glimpse of you,” said Morris with a smile, “I thought I had come on ahead of myself and got here first.”

“…it‘s the spirit of Christmas that counts. It must be a spirit of goodwill and kindness and joy and love. We must never forget the real meaning of Christmas—never let it be dimmed by any false meanings…”

Finally got our tree up today! The dog is clearly bothered by the change in his environment. He‘s so high-strung.
“Everything went so smoothly that we soon forgot to be nervous. When the turkey was done, we took it out, set it on the back of the range to keep warm and put the mince pies in… everything was going as merrily as a marriage bell. Then, all at once, things happened.”
“Things happened”—such an understatement! 😂
Today‘s #KindredSpiritsChristmas story is “Aunt Susanna‘s Thanksgiving Dinner,” which can be found at the link in the comments ⤵️

#KindredSpiritsChristmas buddy read starts today!
“…you can't preach much good into a boy if he‘s got an aching void in his stomach. Fill *that* up with tasty victuals, and then you can do something with his spiritual nature. If a boy is well stuffed with good things and then won‘t listen to advice, you might as well stop wasting your breath on him, because there is something radically wrong with him. Probably his grandfather had dyspepsia.” ⤵️
We‘re starting the #KindredSpiritsChristmas buddy read on Saturday! I‘ll post daily with quotes or thoughts about each story, and links to read online when applicable. If you‘re not tagged but you‘d like to be, just let me know. 😊
The first story is “The Genesis of the Doughnut Club,” a Thanksgiving tale that‘s actually NOT in the tagged collection. It can be found here: https://www.online-literature.com/lucy_montgomery/1907-1908/17/
