A New Tradition?

A few weeks ago, I learned that there is a "Pippi Longstocking" book that I had never heard of before, a picture book called Pippi Longstocking's After-Christmas Party. It was published in Sweden in 1950, but didn't become available here until the 1990s.
As soon as I became aware of the book's existence, I just HAD to order a copy.
When the book arrived, I put it aside to read after Christmas. That seemed
appropriate!
As I said, the book is a picture book, just one short story. But it was, to me, as
enjoyable as the full-length Pippi books.
I think I will read this book every year, at the beginning of Ordinary Time.

Fr. Anthony hopes to be back on the air in the near future.  Oh, HOW I'm praying for that to happen! https://franciscanmissionaries.c...
