Miss Pym greatly desires a missing piece from her Crown Derby set, a set she bought a long time ago. She has an opportunity to visit the place in which she purchased the set, and well…

Another short ghost story, and my first time reading anything by Marjorie Bowen. I plan to check out her other works!

Merry Christmas Eve, Littens! Diving into a ghost story for Christmas Eve (as provided by @BookNAround), and trying to take my mind off my colossal Christmas mistake. Guess who traveled five hours to visit family for Christmas but forgot the one box that had the Santa presents for the one child of mine who is super into Christmas and still believes in Santa? Clue: It was me. Feeling horrible. But wishing everyone else a much smoother day tomorrow!

BookNAround Oh no! Our family tends to blame naughty elves for whoopses like this. Here‘s hoping the little WordJar takes it in stride. 6y

TheWordJar @BookNAround Everything turned out OK (which I knew it would, but it was devastating to realize how badly I‘d dropped the ball)! Santa clarified in his letter that he didn‘t know how much room we‘d have to haul things back, so he just left some presents at our house. 🙃🤪 Merry Christmas! 6y
