Having gotten my Kindle before Christmas, I was searching for holiday stories and came across this. Being free, the price was definitely right! As it turns out, it is a charming short story of an earlier Christmas- but the emotions and challenges are the same as now. Set over a century or more ago, the Fernald family has scattered, the children very busy with their own pursuits and successes or with families and children of their own, time passing quickly. The parents are left to face yet another Christmas alone.One son, however, thinks they can do better and rallies his brothers and sisters to his scheme of surprising the old folks. What unfolds is a lovely story that will make you smile. And, there's a sequel!On Christmas Day In The Eveningbrings the family together for yet another wonderful holiday. A treasure I will be re-reading next December.
