A Visit from St.Nicholas

Concluding this run of festive tales, I read the iconic Christmas poem, "A Visit from St. Nicholas" better known to many as "Twas the Night Before Christmas" by Clement Clarke Moore.

I'll be back in the new year with an interesting non-fiction text to return with - so watch this space !

The Little Match Girl

Continuing the festive tales, I read the rather sad tale of "The Little Match Girl" by Hans Christian Andersen. During these modern times it is important to remember that little things really matter including the memories of those no longer with us. There are some things that money can't buy...

Next time, I'll reading Roger Hargreaves "Mr Christmas"

Gift of the Magi

In the first of a number of festive tales, I start of with O. Henry's poignant tale about the sacrifices of Christmas in "Gift of the Magi". At this time of year it is very easy to put the wants and needs of others first.

Next time, I'll reading "The Little Match Girl" by Hans Christian Andersen.
