#Wrappingifts is #HolidayTradition because I wrap them every year. There are also 3 fairytales that I bought for Leja.

pickI'll just be over in the corner bawling my eyes out now that I've finished this #HolidayReads. 😢
This is another holiday classic I've seen the Disney version of but never took the time to read the story. It's such a heartbreaking tale, but so beautifully told.

This TL Christmas classic is a sad, beautiful story about a young, poor Danish girl who must brave through the cold December weather to sell her matchsticks before she can go home. As night falls and she is forced to light her matchsticks one by one to stay warm, she is drawn in by visions that combat her loneliness and throw her into her memories.
panI listened to this on Librivox. It didn‘t take me very long to listen to but it broke my heart. It‘s sad but it‘s so well written. I don‘t want to listen to it again. I feel like it‘s going to stay with me for awhile.
It's simple, but my favorite bookish item I have are these matches. I leave them out on my coffee table and use them when I light a candle, which is frequent. #riotgrams
pickSo much emotion in one tiny little story. A tear always comes to my eye when I read it.
Listening to my favorite Christmas Eve tradition: Groovelilly's Striking Twelve radio play, based on The Little Match Girl, on Robert Drake's The Night Before on WXPN. Also, there are puppies on TV.
Can't get worse, or? Depressing story about girl, cold winter, Christmas time with #snow and some passerby #men

pickAs a few of us have said, it's the humans in stories that are often the scariest monsters. Someone gave me this book when I was a kid, and I swear it gave me nightmares. The little match girl's father is abusive. They are heartbreakingly poor. And she dies. Who calls these things appropriate for kids? #allhallowsreads #scaryreads
At Quail Ridge books! I love them!
