Advent Day 1: Story and Cider

We read one of my favorite Christmas stories tonight, Apple Tree Christmas. The story takes place in 1881. I am a sucker for simple, humble, old-fashioned Christmas stories. And this one is so touching, but not at all sappy. The illustrations are beautiful as well. Then we enjoyed some spiced apple cider to warm us on this very chilly night.
