| This book is a collection of Christmas stories gathered from the writings of Laura Ingalls Wilder. The stories begin when Laura is just 4 years old and progress as she gets older. The story is very as they move from place to place and tell of the dreams of two little girls who still believe in Santa. The biggest takeaway here for me was that life was simplistic and that even when it came to Christmas gifts were often had but they were still simplistic like a piece of candy or woolen mittens. Maybe this is something that we should return to. The girls were always grateful and Ma managed to introduce the girls to life's lessons. Christmas always came. Pa was always seen as the head of the household but also someone who worked hard and loved his family. These things about her family were sweet and I loved the family meant everything to them no matter what the circumstances. Overall, a sweet book that could be read year after year. 4 stars. Disclosure: I purchased a copy of this book for my own collections. The views here are 100% my own and may differ from yours. - Michelle |
