Annie Acorn's Christmas Shorts #4
One Last Gift To Go
Children aren’t the same as kittens, as Miss Mary Mason is reminded when she volunteers to keep two orphans in her home through Christmas. Ragged and dirty, their manners leave much to be desired. Still, Mary perseveres, not willing to return them to a system that will certainly not meet their needs. You won’t want to miss this remarkable story of the far-reaching power of love!

Two orphaned girls get a chance at a new home and a warm Christmas thanks to a kind-hearted stranger. Sadie and her sister Tiny think they’ll be spending the holidays in the foster system. However, a beautiful, rich woman named Mary takes the girls into their home and gives the a Christmas they’ll never forget.
The short story definitely has heartwarming aspects with Sadie and Tiny finding a new home with Mary. Your heartstrings will tug as the girls are overcome with gratitude for Mary’s kindness as she showers them with warm clothes and toys.
This was a sweet and lovely story, which teaches an important lesson. If the rest of Annie Acorn’s books are like this, I’ll be reading more of her work.

This was a simply sweet and heartwarming book to read. I enjoyed this short story about celebrating Christmas and helping out those in need.
The book begins with Sadie remembering when she was ten and a woman named Mary who took her and her sister in after their mother passed away. Sadie is hurt at the passing of her husband and as she reflects on the years she had with him she thinks about what Mary had done for her and her sister and when they were taken in at Christmas time.
The story flew by. The ending portrays the heartwarming feelings a woman remembers as a chld. I enjoyed this quick read and can’t wait to read another by Ms. Acorn.
