I love today’s book. My mom read it aloud to my siblings and I when we were growing up, and I still love it.

A Pint of Judgment by Elizabeth Morrow
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This little story, first published in 1939 is one that I love. Little Sally Tucker wants to get her mother something extra special this Christmas, but what? In reading over her mother’s Christmas list with her sister, they discover ‘a quart of judgment’ handwritten at the bottom. That is what Mother wants most. The question is, what is judgment? How would you explain it to a seven-year-old? You’ll be charmed and delighted with this simple yet touching story of love.

What is a Christmas story that you enjoyed as a child? Have you read this book? How would you explain what judgement was?
