About A Little House Christmas
Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House books are beloved for their depiction of the joys and struggles of a family settling the American Prairie. In A Little House Christmas, the Ingalls family hosts their neighbors for an early Christmas dinner to thank them for welcoming them to the area. They awaken on Christmas Day to find themselves stranded by bad weather, and it seems all is lost for any hope of Santa’s arrival! Join Mary and Laura in this Holiday classic as they learn the true meaning of friendship and the Christmas spirit!
