My Favourite Childhood Christmas Book
Every Christmas, for as long as I can remember my heart has been touched by The Wonderful Window by Beth Vardon, illustrated by Charlot Byj. I believe it was written in the 50's and I would likely have received it for Christmas sometime in the 60's. It's no longer in print so I hope I'm not violating any copyright laws by sharing it with you. As soon as the patchwork was tacked into place The angel came in with a smile on his face. And both he and Katie got down on their knees, Praying: Lord, could you spare one small miracle -- please? That night, all the people who happened to pass Saw a wonderful window of glistening glass! And the light from the candles was shining inside On the angel and Katie -- both beaming with pride. (Just take a look now, while the happy choir sings...You'll see -- even Katie --- has almost got wings!)
What happened? Did people stop eating tomatoes?
ReplyDeleteWell I sure didn't. :) I'm not sure what happened. There was a tomato farm on the property for a few years, then the owners decided to open a market and built this rustic looking building about 5 years ago. There are two very established market close by. I guess they just couldn't compete.
