She Poured Two Cups~

I love traditions, and books are a part of connecting me to sweet memories and special times. One book I like to read once the stockings are hung is  A Cup Of Christmas Tea.   

I've read it aloud at all my Christmas tea parties and shared copies of the book with friends and family. It is a heartwarming tale of a man who goes to visit his great aunt, and the unexpected joy he gets as he spends some time with her. I highly recommend it! Tom Hegg wrote A Cup of Christmas Tea in 1981, when his pastor asked him to write something for his church's 125th anniversary. Drawing on childhood memories, he composed a straightforward, sentimental poem that brought tears to his audience's eyes. First published in 1982, it's been a seasonal best-seller ever since. I hope you get the chance to share this story with somebody special~
