Welcome to Litsy!

A lovely gift for children 🎄✨️🎅😍

Lane wanted to start a new chapter book tonight, but they were both exhausted and I had already let them stay up too late watching Elf. The first few pages of this Christmas novella was my compromise. We read until the ornaments came to life, and I think the kids are intrigued enough to continue tomorrow 🎁🎄🎁

While waiting at HPB, I read some Christmas stories. I particularly liked Follow the Star pop-up book.

Still no long fiction (I tried, the Brain was highly unwilling. Also it was Anthony Trollope so... yeah!). Anyway!!! One Christmas Wish is the standard “lonely kid has a Christmas wish” but it‘s beautifully written and illustrated with elegance and heart. It‘s a lovely story and a beautiful book, highly recommended especially for the kids / families of any deployed military, the tin soldier portions are something special. ♥️
