"The next day, the second day of December, we all, even John, even Daddy when he got home from the office, made Christmas cookies."

– The Twenty-four Days Before Christmas

My favorite line comes a few pages later, however.  "After school Mother discovered we'd eaten up all the first batch of Christmas cookies, so we made more."  

Because that happens too, we will be having several such days between now and Christmas.  #readingthroughadvent
