A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

The First Christmas Tree: A Story of the Forest - Henry Van Dyke

After enjoying Van Dyke's story of The Other Wise Man, I wanted to read his other famous short story, The First Christmas Tree.

Winfried is on a mission to bring the message of the Messiah to the worshipers of Thor. They're meeting at the sacred tree to offer sacrifices to their god.  When a boy is chosen as a sacrifice, Winfried has his chance to speak and be heard.

This one took me about half an hour to read and was a nice little story.  The descriptions were well done and the story engaging.  A great tale to read at Christmastime.  This was written so long ago that it is available for free.  Good Story!
