My kids too look up at me and say "really? Again?" Cannot get through it. Read it and then tell me if you managed to not cry.

I'm glad to have a little one in our house again so we can re-read all the old favorites once more.<BR/><BR/>Velveteen Rabbit isn't just for Christmas, but we have a version that always sat in the Christmas book basket on the hearth and it really tugs my heartstrings.<BR/><BR/>Right now I'm reading Jotham's Journey with my boys for advent and we are really enjoying it.<BR/><BR/>Oh how I do love a good holiday story! Great idea for a post!Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11392810979123519326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512642049971207057.post-19144717920975841812008-12-22T20:16:00.000-05:002008-12-22T20:16:00.000-05:00I also love The Tale of the Three Trees.

I don't know how many years we've been reading it, but I cry every time. The Christmas tree in our school room has a blue and silver theme. I found little silver packages tied with a silver bow. They hang quietly on our tree reminding me of my favorite Christmas book.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10004651720352605486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512642049971207057.post-84550624059789109122008-12-22T12:20:00.000-05:002008-12-22T12:20:00.000-05:00A wish for wings that work....I haven't read that ...A wish for wings that work....I haven't read that in years!
