My Thoughts
This a beautiful story, with lovely illustrations of a 1920's Pennsylvania winter when times are rough.
All Georgie wants for Christmas is a new pair of skates. He learns Santa might not make it this year. He soon discovers what the true meaning of what Christmas is all about.
I appreciate the Christmas scenes and the story seems like a melding of some old classics.. from.Dickens and O'Henry.
