Christmas is coming up! Actually, I don’t know why I really love Christmas since it’s not a big event here in Thailand but I just love it very much and it’s my most fav holidays I look forward to each year. We have some light decorations , choirs , big Christmas trees in Bangkok and other big cities though. I’m going to share some pics I took when I was still in Bangkok later.

Ok. Back to the book again. I got this book on New Year’s Eve in 1993 lol, I know that’s long time ago hehe. This book collects Christmas stories from around the world.
Here are some examples,
Wag-by-wall by Beatrix Potter [ England ]
A story of a poor woman named Sally who lived alone in her cottage. She owned an antigue wall clock which sang a strange song ” tic: toc: gold: toe” . Later she got a letter from someone currently taking care of her niece because her daughter and her husband just died. Sally was asked to send some money to the person as the cost to send her niece to her but she was out of money really. She was worried she couldn’t send money to get her niece back but there were some miracle happened which you have to read it by yourself lol. I aint gonna spoil it.
Mrs. Pepperpot’s Christmas by Alf Proysen [ Norway ]
A story of Mrs. Pepperpot from a series of children book ” Mrs. Pepperpot “.
It started when she woke up and found herself small like a pepperpot.
It wouldn’t be such a big deal if she didnt have a date with Mr. Pepperpot to buy some stuffs for Christmas at Christmas Fair. So how could she go ??
There are more stories in the book which are fun to read
I’m sure the kids would love it and it’s good to hear different Christmas stories from different places around the world.
