Christmas with Anne: And Other Holiday Stories | Lucy Maud Montgomery

pick

There are a lot of repeated themes and plot devices in these stories, but I think that's forgivable, since LM Montgomery didn't write them to be read together, but instead as freelance writing for various publications. Overall, it's a sweet collection and perfect for a cold night on a warm couch.

Next up for #KindredSpritsChristmas is Uncle Richard‘s New Year‘s Dinner. Another family feud is ended when Prissy secretly goes to her estranged uncle‘s house & cooks his New Year‘s dinner while he is at work. Classic LMM. 80 points

Lucy Maud Montgomery Short Stories, 1905 to 1906 | Lucy Maud Montgomery

“I'd love to be friends with you,“ she said slowly. “I've often thought I'd like to know you. Isn't it odd that we have the same name? It was so nice of you to come and see me. I—I'd love to have you come often.“

Aw—such a sweet story of a mixup that leads to a kind deed and a future friendship. Also: Josie Pye!! ? ⤵️

Christmas with Anne: And Other Holiday Stories

CogsOfEncouragement lol Right? I‘m sure it is quite a chore to continually come up with unique names! I enjoyed this sweet story of kindness. 23h

lauraisntwilder They were discussing the "other" Ida Mtchell and I thought, if only they had an idea of the other Josie Pye! 18h

BarbaraJean @CogsOfEncouragement I‘ve often thought about that with LMM‘s short stories, wondering how she chose all the names! @lauraisntwilder Oh, my—yes!! Now you have me thinking: what if LMM had written a story in which this Josie Pye was that Josie Pye and had the name mixup. A very different story indeed. 😂 5h

rubyslippersreads Was the Josie Pye in AOGG the evil twin of the one in this story? now

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. ⤵️

lauraisntwilder We're with my family for Christmas and intend to go back home in time for me to do exactly this on New Year's Day! 2d

CogsOfEncouragement That was my favorite quote from this happy story too. 2d

TheAromaofBooks This one was just adorable. And no good deed is done without a twinge of the selfish one that could have been 😂 2d

BarbaraJean @lauraisntwilder The perfect New Year's Day plan! I mean, unless you have an estranged uncle to cook for, in which case, do that. 😂 @CogsOfEncouragement It was such a relatable situation! @TheAromaofBooks So true!! 1d

lauraisntwilder @BarbaraJean No estranged uncles! 😜 19h

BarbaraJean I have a list of potential adjacent reads that I need to review, and I‘m planning to post a poll with some of those options sometime in January. In the meantime, let me know if there are any books LMM has mentioned that caught your eye. I‘d love to add in more adjacent reads! 3d

julieclair Please tag me for Anne of the Island and The Country of the Pointed Firs. 🙂 Thank you for the thoughtful way you host this challenge! 🩵💙🩵 3d

TheAromaofBooks It really seems like I should be completely burned out on LMM at this point, but I am honestly more engaged than ever in these buddy reads!! Thank you so much for continuing to organize this. I've never spent this much time with one author and it has been so fascinating. I'm not sure I've ever skipped Windy Poplars - I've always read this series in chronological order - so I think it will be interesting to see the original progression. 3d

BarbaraJean @julieclair Will do! You‘re welcome!! Thanks for joining in! 🤗 2d

BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks Haha—same! I kinda worried I‘d get tired of this when we started the journals and the re-reads both, but it‘s been so interesting! Thank you for reading along with me all this time! I‘m also really interested to reread Poplars and Ingleside integrated with the journals, and see how they fit when read that way. 2d
