Lighthouse Christmas {Tuesday's Treasures}

One of my favourite things when my children were very little was to collect a new book each Christmas for us to enjoy.  Well the days of little children and new books is quickly fading in our home and a new season is around the corner.  This however has not diminished my love of beautifully illustrated books for Christmas.

Will Santa find them now that they are living in this far away spot just off the coast of Maine?  How will they have Christmas when they still haven't received their groceries?  These are the questions facing Peter and Frances as they face a new future with their Dad in the lighthouse.  As a storm rages they are faced with a choice which ultimately teaches them that the most important part of Christmas is... you'll have to read it to find out.

This book is beautifully illustrated and thoughtfully written.  In the author's note we discovered that this story was inspired by the Flying Santa which has been in operation since 1929. We found out some really interesting things on their site.
