Little House Christmas Holiday Stories from the Little House Books Book

This is a perfect holiday read: a collection of Christmas passages culled from Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House series. Evocative of the warmth and love one can glean from just being together with family, these tales stir the heart and bring back memories of my own childhood - those spent as a kid at Christmas, as well as those of the pleasures these books (and the TV show) brought me. Plus, it really does put things into perspective. In our era of "stuff" and "more more more" it's nice to contemplate on children being thrilled to receive a pair of red mittens and a single peppermint stick on Christmas morn. 5 stars
