Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Christmas at Long Pond is a totally nature-oriented Christmas book. The father and his son go out in the woods to cut down a Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. They encounter a woodpecker, deer, foxprints, and a beaver lodge. They are respectful of nature. I want to live there, looking at the pictures. The dog adds a comic element just by doing things that real dogs do.

It's not a "story of Christmas" story. It's just part of how one family gets ready for Christmas. It gave me a cozy feeling to read it.

We just checked this out of the library yesterday! We all enjoyed it and my 4yo put it in her stack of books "for Mom to read to me tomorrow".
