A Little Book for Christmas

"A Little Book for Christmas" by Cyrus Townsend Brady is a selection of writings set during Christmas, featuring essays and stories from the early 1900s that are great for any reader. The book looks at things like being kind to others, the good old days, and why the Christmas season is important, all to make people feel good during the holidays. The book starts with the author talking about what Christmas means for religion and the world, highlighting the happiness and togetherness it brings, and pushing people to be nice and giving. After that is a short story that takes the story of the prodigal son and puts a spin on it, showing what happened after the son came home, and telling a touching story about sadness, being sorry for what you’ve done, and wanting to make up with family at Christmas time. Brady uses beautiful language to make the reader think and feel the true meaning of Christmas.
