I read this short Christmas story, “The Romance of a Christmas Card” by Kate Douglas Wiggins because I read another Christmas story by the author, “The Bird’s Christmas Carol”, which I enjoyed. I think Wiggins is a good, entertaining author from a more principled and conservative era (early 20th century), whose stories depict an old fashion lifestyle that most have no experience with in this crazy, modern world. Moreover, she shares a good Christmas message in her stories.

This is a sweet, but not very memorable story. It also ended a chapter too soon, and I hate it when books do that! The setting is Beulah, Maine, so it features some of the same characters as Mother Carey's Chickens. I was disappointed the Careys didn't make a cameo appearance.
A charming, if overly sentimental, Christmas story. Loved the illustrations provided in the Project Gutenberg e-book edition.
A sweet Christmas story with a message of love and making old wrongs right, the true spirit of Christmas.
A very quick read- a quaint romance set in a small New Hampshire town over Christmas.
A sweet, heartwarming, and surprisingly funny story of a "Christmas Miracle".
Long for a short story, but short for a book. :) One of those simple and sweet tales that tells of repentance, forgiveness, and the blessing of giving even when you know there is no earthly reward. A nice magic to it, as well.
a sweet but fairly forgettable Christmas story from the author of Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.
