We have collected a dozen Christmas books over the years. I keep them in a wooden trunk I reserve for Christmas things. Come late November, I pull them all out and put them under the coffee table in a wooden tray. Most of the books are whimsical and lovely, but this one is far more than that. Each time I pull a little person onto my lap to read to this particular book I try my very best to keep my voice even and my throat clear. But inevitably a lump forms and I waver. Just read it. You'll see what I mean.

That is my FAVOURITE Christmas book! I actually first stumbled across it on a free book table at the local library and wondered how such a treasure ended up there. We didn't have a Thomas when we first read it and my Thomas especially loves the book. I have even given it to friends as a Christmas or birthday gift. Any other one to recommend?
