All the sprinkles he snitches,
it’s his Christmas fun,
but without sprinkles
the baking cannot be done!

The villagers panic,
but says Little Nat,
“I’ll track down the
Snitcher wherever he’s at!”

Will Nat find the Snitcher?
Will the Snitcher relent?
Will the cookies be baked?
Will the Snitcher repent?

Will Nat lose the trail?
Will he fall through the ice?
If Nat finds the Snitcher,
will the Snitcher be nice?

These questions are answered
for all to enjoy!

A Grandma for Christmas https://classic.powertactics.com/product/a-grandma-for-christmas-2/ https://classic.powertactics.com/product/a-grandma-for-christmas-2/#respond Fri, 15 Jul 2022 18:45:41 +0000 https://classic.powertactics.com/?post_type=product&p=50079 75th Anniversary Edition. Here is an enchanting story about Christmas in a far-off corner of the world. With all the wonderful, unhurried charm of the old-world 19th century, the Rolands celebrate a family Christmas. Their Yuletide customs, though strange to us, are deeply rooted in Norwegian tradition.

The post A Grandma for Christmas appeared first on Classical Education Books.

The hustle and bustle of preparation…days spent in the bakehouse making bread and festive holiday cakes…gifts fashioned in secret by loving hands…all have a counterpart in the ways in which we prepare for Christmas.

Though the Rolands express it quite differently, the Christmas spirit underlying their festivities is the same as ours—making this a story for all who have the spirit of Christmas in their hearts. Here’s the dedication: To my Sisters and Brother, who with me often listened to Christmas stories of Norway told us by our father, the Gunnuf (the main character) of this story.

A glossary of Norwegian terms and six authentic Norwegian recipes are included!

From the text:

“Carol, brothers, carol, Carol joyfully, Carol the good tidings, Carol merrily!”

“Why, my baby,” whispered Mrs. Bird in soft surprise, “I had forgotten what day it was. You are a little Christmas child, and we will name you ‘Carol’ — mother’s little Christmas Carol.”

Kate Douglas Wiggin (1856-1923), author of such works as Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm,  was one of America’s most popular writers of books for young people.
