  6. Oh wonderful book list! We just read "A Christmas Dress for Ellen" tonight! We all loved the story! But this working mom couldnt plan for a nice activity with each story so the girls just hung their stockings and we are planning to be Santas to a less active family in our ward this Christmas...thanks to you I got all this motivating ideas from reading your blog! I'll email you a copy of this story "The Little Match Girl" by Hans Christian Andersen(1846)...you're gonna like it too!
