This book is my family's true Christmas story. My mother and her sister lived with my grandparents in Plainfield, New Jersey, in the mid-1930s. My mother (Martha) would still get excited whenever she told me this story. It's a story about the real Christmas spirit of giving, which continues through the Brown family generations. It's interesting to note that most people who read this story automatically concluded that my grandparents were affluent with some wealth. However, they were quite the opposite. My grandfather was a butler (not at the White House), and my grandmother was a cook, but they still had hearts to give. I pray that after reading this story that giving becomes the primary element of your Christmas. Be Blessed and Merry Christmas.
