Lucy Maud Montgomery Short Stories, 1896 To 1901 | L. M. Montgomery

What is the happiest Christmas morning you can remember?

This was another lovely story about giving to others on Christmas. So many of these stories have the same exact themes—in today‘s story, noticing someone who is lonely or less-fortunate and bringing them Christmas joy—but I LIKE those themes!

Christmas with Anne: And Other Holiday Stories

(edited) 11mo

lauraisntwilder The happiest Christmas morning I can remember was when my son was 3 and he got the talking Vanellope (from Wreck-It Ralph) doll he'd asked for. I made pancakes and made small ones for the doll and he thought it was to coolest thing ever. ❤️ This was a sweet story. I liked that the "needy" person wasn't necessarily poor 11mo

CogsOfEncouragement Heartwarming, with the hope they can keep up the goodwill all year. 11mo

TheAromaofBooks My mom loves Christmas so I have loads of happy Christmas memories. But one of my favorites was a few years ago when the family had planned to get together 12/26 instead of 12/25, so a rare Christmas where the husband and I were going to be home alone for the holiday - and it SNOWED, like several inches of snow, which never happens here on Christmas and was supposed to be rain but instead it was just so perfect and fluffy!!! 11mo

BarbaraJean One of my favorite Christmases was when I was living in South Africa & didn't return to the US at Christmas. My roommate & I invited two friends for a Christmas Eve sleepover—we decorated Christmas cookies by candlelight because of a power out. Then we had what we called “Magnificent & Wondrous Christmas Breakfast“! @lauraisntwilder Aw, I love the idea of little pancakes for the doll!! @TheAromaofBooks An unexpected white Christmas—what a delight! 11mo

TheAromaofBooks Your favorite Christmas sounds exactly like one of LMM's stories! 😂 11mo

BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks 😂 More than you know… we took a bunch of Christmas gifts to our friends out in the township later that day! And the cat would NOT come down from the huge tree in front of the house… another Christmas mishap 😂 There were no sleigh rides or sledding, however 😁 (edited) 11mo

AvidReader25 Your Christmas in South Africa sounds lovely! I do love these LMM themes too. 💙 I remember having Christmas in a hotel room one year with my family when we were traveling to Boston. There was something sweet about realizing Christmas was Christmas no matter where you were because of who you were with. 11mo

BarbaraJean @AvidReader25 Aw, yes—somehow those out-of-the-usual Christmases help us to focus on what‘s really important about the holiday. Which is funny to realize, because I‘m big on keeping up traditions! 11mo

@Scochrane26 - I'm your #JolabokaflodSwap match this year!!! I mailed your package earlier this week, but in typical Sarah-Style did not actually notate on the envelope anywhere that it was a Litsy package or who it was from 😂 So be on the lookout for a blue padded envelope from Ohio - that's your Swap gift!!! Merry Christmas!!

@MaleficentBookDragon thanks so much for hosting - I love this simple swap!!

The Golden Road | L. M. Montgomery

#KindredSpiritsBuddyRead #LMMReread Golden Road Discussion: 2/3

Which of the characters did you relate to the most? Who would you have most enjoyed having as a childhood friend?

What did you think of the Story Girl‘s “prophecies”—and of the way the book ends?
What would you imagine for these characters‘ futures?

rubyslippersreads, JenlovesJT47, lauraisntwilder, kwmg40, TheAromaofBooks, Roary47, julieclair

julieclair I think of the “prophecies” as LMM‘s way of letting us know what happened with each of the characters, kind of like an epilogue. The ending of the book was so bittersweet, with the characters separating and moving on to the next phase of their lives. This was so reminiscent, for me, of leaving high school and everyone scattering to different colleges. 12mo

julieclair I think I would have loved to have Cecily as a childhood friend. She was so kind, and calming, and just plain good. 💙 12mo

TheAromaofBooks I agree with @julieclair that this was kind of an unofficial epilogue. I thought it was interesting that she gave us so much foreshadowing of Cecily's early death, and found myself wondering why she decided to sort of secondhand kill her off. But I loved the references that Bev makes throughout the narration of still seeing everyone later in life, receiving letters from them, etc. 12mo

lauraisntwilder Weirdly, I think I related most to Bev, who, as narrator, has the least personality. But, he feels so strongly about them all and creates this record, so to speak, and I think I'm often the one paying attention and writing things down, rather than being the center of attention. I would have loved a friend like Cecily. 12mo

lauraisntwilder I have asked my husband for the DVDs of the Road to Avonlea TV show for Christmas. 🤞 The epilogue section made me think so much of the show, almost like it is filling in the blanks. I haven't seen it since I was the age of the Story Girl, but I loved it then. 12mo

kwmg40 I liked the narrator Bev. I sometimes wished we could have learned more about him. 12mo

BarbaraJean @julieclair @lauraisntwilder I agree about having Cecily for a friend! I loved how loyal she was to Sara Ray, (even though Sara Ray annoyed me as a character!), and how she so often played the role of peacemaker, wanting the others to be kind to each other and stop their bickering and baiting. I also loved the friendship between Bev and the Story Girl, the way they had little side jokes or shared secrets/knowledge. ⬇ 12mo

BarbaraJean (Cont'd) Their walk to the schoolhouse in the middle of the night and their “ramble” with Uncle Blair are two of my favorite parts of the book. I can see myself being part of that kind of friendship within this group, with their shared humor and appreciation of beauty. 12mo

BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks I loved that, too—Bev‘s comments showing they still kept in touch & talked about the old days! I love how he writes to the Story Girl to ask about the Awkward Man‘s story so many years down the road. @kwmg40 As the observer, Bev does kind of disappear into the narrative! Like @lauraisntwilder, I relate to that a bit as well. And the little glimpses of him that we do get make me want to know more about him as a character, too. 12mo

Short stories from the author of Anne of Green Gables, many with a spooky theme. I hunted this down a couple years ago but finally read it now. Took my time and read it throughout the month. I really enjoyed these tales.
