Re: Christmas books

[Blythe Bennett <blythe@ERICIR.SYR.EDU>]

This is our family's favorite Christmas story, it is titled *A Christmas
Memory*.  There is an old video version also, we just watched it the other
night (starring Geraldine Page...we think the copyright is 1965).  If you
are familiar with the story, you will understand when I say that all
LMNETTERS get an extra cup of raisins in their fruitcakes.
