Lucy Maud Montgomery Short Stories, 1909 to 1922

Lucy Maud Montgomery Short Stories, 1909 to 1922 | L.M. Montgomery

“She had planned to spend a nice, lazy holiday with the new book her father had given her at Christmas and a box of candy.”

Those sound like FANTASTIC plans for New Year‘s Day, and I feel that “regretful peep” at her book!! But I love the plan to brighten someone‘s New Year, anonymously—with such a wonderful result. ⤵️

Lucy Maud Montgomery Short Stories, 1909 to 1922 | L.M. Montgomery

“I'll tell you what I'm going to do when I'm sixteen, Theodora. I'm going to pay off the mortgage, and buy mother a silk dress, and a piano for the twins. Won't that be elegant? I'll be able to do that 'cause I'm a man. Of course if I was only a girl I couldn't.“

🙄 I definitely rolled my eyes at this. And then the story went on to show just how much a 16-year-old girl can do!! #KindredSpiritsChristmas #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead

TheAromaofBooks I really enjoyed this one!! I love a happy ending where everyone ends up rich 😂 3w

lauraisntwilder This one was so sweet! 3w

AvidReader25 This was my favorite so far. I just love that. her sacrifice led to something so beautiful. Imagine giving up one of the only things that matters to you just to bring joy to kids on Christmas morning. 💙 3w

BarbaraJean @CogsOfEncouragment 16 was much older and $4 went a lot farther than it does today!! @TheAromaofBooks Hahaha... all the gold certainly didn't hurt! Maybe they can pay off the mortgage and buy the silk dress and piano sooner rather than waiting till Jimmy is 16. 😆 @AvidReader25 Yes! and then it comes full circle by the end, like Jen mentioned--it's a Gift of the Magi type ending! I kind of wanted her brother to go buy the locket back, though 😂 2w

julieclair @BarbaraJean I had the same thought about the locket! After being so selfless, it would be wonderful if she could get it back. I was kind of surprised it didn't happen in the story. 1w
