It was in April that the Brackett's house burned to the ground, the lovely old house Lucy's father had lived in as a boy. The children were scattered among friends and neighbors. Father's one hope was to get enough money to build a new home for his family by the next Christmas. To help out, they all went out to live in a camp near where Father worked in the woods. They loved living there. Father was sad, however, because he just couldn't seem to get any money ahead for the new house. One day Lucy was helping him cut Christmas trees to send to the city. She had the wonderful idea of putting a note in a bunch of trees asking someone to send Christmas presents to her little brothers and sisters. How the station master found the note and what the neighbors did about it makes a lovely Christmas surprise, as much to the reader as to the Bracketts. 46 Pgs.
