Christmas on Jane Street: A True Story par Billy Romp
I understand the message of the book, and the last part of it is great, but there are some parenting things that I have issues with. A child deliberately disobeys her father by not letting her parents know where she is while they are in Manhattan, of all places. Then she willfully disobeys his grounding her to go to a party, and all is happy when the father confesses that he is in the wrong. I found it hard to get past that in that portion of the book.

Sweet holiday book about a family from Vermont who spends a month on Jane Street in NYC selling Christmas trees, wreaths, etc. The Romp family depends on the income from these sales to provide their finances for the year. When the oldest child, Ellie, wants to do things differently, her father rebels, causing a rift between members of the family. After reflection, they all discover that giving is better than receiving. Changing things a little helped them learn.
Charming story of Christmas tree sellers from Vermont who spend December in Greenwich Village, and the daughter who wants to see the Nutcracker Ballet.
This is an excellent feel good story for Christmas. Having two (now adult) daughters myself, I can relate strongly to the Bill Romp's angst and emotions. Some may see the story as a bit saccharine and corny, but isn't that as much a part of Christmas as carols and the tree?
