The Last of the Mohicans | James Fenimore Cooper

'Go, children of the Lenape; the anger of the Manitto is not done. Why should Tamenund stay? The pale-faces are masters of the earth, and the time of the red-men has not yet come again. My day has been too long. In the morning I saw the sons of Unâmis happy and strong; and yet, before the night has come, have I lived to see the last warrior of the wise race of the Mohicans!'

Very very sweet stories all variations on some themes: 1) a very poor family cannot afford anything for Christmas and something happens that means the family can have traditional Christmas food and the kids gifts, and 2) there‘s been some rift in the family (normally over inheritance of land) and something happens to heal the rift. I would have preferred some diversity in themes. Short and good for a low-anxiety read. ⬇️

Book 102🎧 4⭐️

I listed to this one because it was mentioned a few time in the FROM📺 conspiracies😂

I‘m not quite sure if I get it aside from the cover looking like the photo of Boyds cottage.

I loved reading about all the little secrets as the Joseph children prepared gifts for each other! (Also, why are children so often described as having “curly heads”?!) In the end, this is yet another sweet story of kindness and sharing at Christmas. 💜🎄

BarbaraJean Today‘s story is “The Josephs‘ Christmas,” which is available on Hoopla, and also in the tagged collection. You can read it online here: https://www.online-literature.com/lucy_montgomery/1902-1903/13/

Tomorrow will be a catch-up day, and we‘ll be back on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday with a series of New Year stories to lead up to Christmas!

CogsOfEncouragement Another heartwarming story of Providence. My fav line was “Well, this is Christmas with a vengeance.” 11h
julieclair What a lovely story. The love and resourcefulness of the Josephs, and the kindness of the Ralstons. True Christmas spirit all around. ❤️🎄❤️ 11h

BarbaraJean @CogsOfEncouragement Haha, yes! I loved that line!! I was going to use it for the quote, but decided it was a little misleading out of context 😂 @julieclair I love how the story highlights that the homemade gifts the children made for each other were not forgotten and were still appreciated, even alongside the bounty of gifts from the Ralstons!
