This is a longtime Treehouse Christmas favourite. Yes, I know the Lonely Doll books are a little strange, or, more accurately, they come out of one author's strange life. But as one Amazon reviewer pointed out, this particular book has no spanking or threatened separations; it's just a happy holiday story. Interestingly, there is not even one mention of Santa Claus in it--the "secrets and surprises" are all up to the bears (and Edith).
Edith's secret is that she's knitting Mr. Bear a muffler.

The Lonely Doll was read over and over again in my childhood.
I read the biography a few years back about the author, as much of her upbringing was around Cleveland - my hometown. I found it very, very sad in the end. Alas, I do like all of the books and pink gingham (from The Lonely Doll cover) = makes me feel warm and cozy.
