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!

@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!!
@BookmarkTavern - I'm your match for the #StuffedStockingSwap !!! I finally got your package in the mail yesterday and USPS says it should be there Friday!! I hope you love it!! 😁
@Avanders thanks so much for hosting this fun swap every year!!!

pickShort 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.
1. Yes, some to hand out, some to donate to the Harvest Festival at church, and treats for my big kids who don‘t trick or treat anymore. #Two4Tuesday
2. spooky short stories
#WhereAreYouMonday I‘ve just read the first two short stories so far. One specified Briarwold which I believe to be in Saskatchewan. The next story takes place somewhere a train delivered you to New York quickly. I‘ve had this book on my shelf for a while now and I‘m disappointed I didn‘t know about the #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead when they read this together a couple years ago.
This is my current draft of the upcoming schedule for the #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead! I've included some #LMMAdjacent books that LMM has mentioned in her journals (including ones that felt October-appropriate: House of the Seven Gables and The Haunted & the Haunters). We‘ll start #LMMJournals Vol. 3 in November, with an #LMMReread of The Golden Road in there as well. Take a look & let me know what piques your interest and I'll tag you accordingly!

so-soI finally finished this while trapped at LaGuardia overnight on Wednesday. I'd read it in fits and starts. It didn't grab me like LMM's books usually do. There were so many storylines and I only cared about half of them. And then there was the *shockingly* horrible ending. I didn't hate the whole book, so it's one step up from a pan.
Tomorrow we‘ll be reading “The Josephs‘ Christmas,” which is available in the above-noted sources, and online here: https://www.online-literature.com/lucy_montgomery/1902-1903/13/
