Christmas Every Day and Other Stories

She put her hand over his mouth and stopped him at the word. She said she had heard little pig-stories till she was perfectly sick of them. "Well, what kind of story shall I tell, then?" "About Christmas. It's getting to be the season. It's past Thanksgiving already." "It seems to me," her papa argued, "that I've told as often about Christmas as I have about little pigs." "No difference! Christmas is more interesting." "Well!" Her papa roused himself from his writing by a great effort. "Well, then, I'll tell you about the little girl that wanted it Christmas every day in the year. How would you like that?" "First-rate!" said the little girl; and she nestled into comfortable shape in his lap, ready for listening. "Very well, then, this little pig-Oh, what are you pounding me for?" "Because you said little pig instead of little girl." "I should like to know what's the difference between a little pig and a little girl that wanted it Christmas every day!".
