The Christmas Letters by Lee Smith

This title was published in 1996. I came across it in a selection of Christmas books taken out of storage for the season. It is a story that can be read again and again, regardless of the year.

The story is comprised of three Christmas letters. The kind of letters that were very popular several years ago. They are often sent to family and friends who are not seen by the writers on a regular basis. They consist of bringing everyone up-to-date on what is happening in the family and encompass graduations, marriages, promotions and births.

The first letter was written in 1944 and the last letter was written in 1996. Recipes are scattered throughout the book including Carrott Cake, Boiled Custard and Orange Mint Sherbert to name a few.

A gentle story just in time for the holidays.
