Also used to read a story on Christmas Eve at church. One of my favorites that hasn't been mentioned is the chapter from Miss Hickory by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey. All the forest and farm animals go to the barn on Christmas Eve to see a miracle -- but Miss Hickory (a doll made of natural materials) is hard-headed. Another, especially good for St. Nicholas Eve, is the chapter on that holiday from Hans Brinker, Or the Silver Skates, by Mary Mapes Dodge. Also The Peterkins' Christmas Tree from The Peterkin Papers by Sara Josepha Hale; and Ramona, the Sheep Suit, and the Three Wise Persons from one of the Ramona books by Beverly Cleary (I have it in an anthology called A Newbery Christmas and don't recall which book, it may be Ramona and Her Father).Auntie Knickershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08854138665883068803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10926562.post-1135193360945495782005-12-21T14:29:00.000-05:002005-12-21T14:29:00.000-05:00Ponytails' additions:The Four-Story Mistake (they ...Ponytails' additions:<BR/><BR/>The Four-Story Mistake (they get an alligator named Crusty.
