365 Bedtime Stories

A collection of brief stories coordinated with the actual events in a calendar year. Excerpt: ?Just because it was the first day of the year,? commenced daddy, ?and because parties were about the nicest things in the world to the mind of a little girl named Ella, her mother decided to give her one. ??It certainly does seem like the first of the year, or the first of something,? said Ella. ?It?s a new day, a new year and we have new toys and new games. We are even going to have supper out of new dishes.? ?For among the presents Santa Claus had brought to Ella was a fine set of dishes. They were pink and white and there were six cups and saucers, six little plates, a teapot, sugar bowl and cream jug. It was really a very complete set.
