Classics, Christmas, and The End

1:18 PM


It is sad to see you go and the party to end, but I know that we will see each other again. You can always keep up-to-date through my newsletter. Also if you take this survey about the blog party, you will get a free short story of your choosing. Before you leave, I would love to share both my favorite classic books and some books to help you celebrate the upcoming Christmas season.

Top Five Favorite Classics:
Christy: This book is a Christian Classic and God really used it in my life. This book is about a young girl whose faith is weak and must learn to stand on it in a harsh environment.
Little Woman: This is an all-time favorite. Having a lot of sisters of my own, this book felt sometimes like it was about us. I loved how they grew, changed, and still remained a close family.
Little Pilgrim's Progress: While I disagree with some of the thology of this book, it did impact me. It was a powerful reminder of all the things that can distract a Christian.
Emma: This story is very dear to me. I want to marry someone like Mr. Knightly someday and I am too much like Emma sometimes. This book is fun, witty, but also has a great message.
Swiss Family Robinson: Dad read this aloud to us and I have such fond memories. It is better than the movie by far. Rose and I did a whole homeschool project based on the things we learned from the book.

Top Five Favorite Christmas stories:
The Swaddling Clothes: This is one of my favorite Christmas stories ever. It is a story that ties many biblical stories together in a neat what-if story.
The Christmas Bride: Grace Livingstone Hill being a favorite, I had to include one of her very sweet Christmas stories as part of this book. I have reread this a couple of times around Christmas.
The Father Christmas Confession: I read this last year and loved it! It felt like a Hallmark movie with a Christian twist. It was awesome!
A Victorian Christmas: I loved this collection. These stories were sweet, historical, and just fun.
Some Christmas Camouflage: This is a beautiful and powerful short story that touched my heart.),
Thanks for coming! Remember to check out and see who won the big prize.

  2. Little Women is one of my favorites too. I always try to read more from Miss Alcott each year, because she's truly one of my favorite authors.

    I keep an ongoing list of Christmas books, so that I'll have plenty to read during the month of December. Some Christmas Camouflage is already on there, and I will have to add the other books on your Christmas list that I haven't read yet.

    Great lists!!
