From the jingling of bells to the taste of a warm treat, every moment reminds her that the Christmas spirit is all around.
But it's not just about the fun and festivities. This book gently encourages readers to think about the more profound spirit of Christmas-kindness, love, and giving to others. The girl and her family share smiles, laughter, and warmth with everyone they meet, even those many overlook.
