An annual tradition for me for decades now, we watched
Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas with the children tonight. I love those adorable puppets. I love the singable songs. I love the story, from the recently-deceased author
Russell Hoban's book of that name, which a
recent article (which has some video clips) described as O. Henry meets
Little House on the Prairie (see also an NPR story
here). And so we watched it together, all curled up in bed, this evening. Best. Christmas. Show. Ever.
