Stores that beg to be read aloud

This collection of more than 80 poems, stories, letters and memoirs is a true family anthology; one that adults can enjoy while sharing with children for many holidays to come.The stories range from a British soldier's letter to his mother about a extraordinary Christmas truce on the front lines of the first World War to Ramona's adventures in the school Christmas pageant from "Ramona and Her Father" by Beverly Cleary. The pieces, gathered under the headings "A Child Is Born," "The Midwinter Feast," "Joy and Giving," and "Other Places, Other Ways," beg to be read aloud in front of a fireplace hung with stockings.
