Ee is for Emma

Although your Great-Great-Grandpa Corbett thought her name was Emma Lee, this post is not about your Aunty Em. Emma is a character in the book, "Emma's Christmas" by Irene Trivas. Emma is a farmer's daughter who is being wooed by a prince. She isn't all that thrilled at first, so he tries to win her over by sending gifts. On the first day of Christmas he sends a partridge in a pear tree . . . on the second day of Christmas, two turtle doves and another partridge in another pear tree . . . on the third day of Christmas, three French hens, two more turtle doves and a third partridge in a third pear tree . . . and so on and so forth for 12 days. What Emma does with all these gifts and the prince brings this book to an enchanting end.

My Christmas book basket doesn't look very empty yet even after Grandpa and I have opened five books so far. How is your Christmas tree pillow looking? I hope you enjoy a

Merry enchanting day!

Love, Grandma
