A Cup of Christmas Tea

I read this book every Christmas and sometimes other times when I happen to spot it while looking for another book. This is a favorite of mine. It is a great reminder to not forget the older friends and relatives that may not be able to get around as much. These wonderful people still get lonely and long for someone to talk to. They might not remember everything but they have much to share.

I worked briefly in a long term care facility and it is so sad to see how lonely some of people are. Some people never had visitors and seemed so lost. Even after I moved on to other employment I kept visiting my new old friends. Even those who couldn't talk communicated their gratefulness with their eyes. Always remember the ones who came before us, even if they are not perfect.

Lovely nostalgic little book.
