A Christmas Dream — Louisa May Alcott

Two wonderful holiday stories that evoke the true meaning of the season.

A Christmas Dream, and How it Came True

Ten-year-old Effie lives the life most children dream of -- with every day filled with delicious treats and wonderful toys. One night she experiences a dream that will forever change the meaning of Christmas for her. In it, she meets a group of under privileged children and she is inspired to create a Christmas they will never forget.

Rosa's Tale

It is said that every Christmas Eve, for one hour's time beginning at the magical hour of midnight, animals are given the gift of speech. Imagining all that her equine friend, Rosa, might have to say, young Belinda is shocked to hear the sad story of Rosa's life and her fears of what the future might hold.
