What a lovely little story. And what a great father Ben is; encouraging Hoss to read out the names on the gifts in order to help him improve his reading skills.
The boys all loved their gifts and Ben was moved to tears by what the boys gave him.
Even though Christmas has long gone, I am getting that warm feeling Christmas always brings
little Joe forever

So Adam got to give the best present of all but Hoss and Joe don't even know that he gave them that present. Very sweet family story.

This was adorable! You write so beautifully. I could just picture the whole scene and how very Adam to leave footprints in the snow.

With Christmas so close I had to read this one again. I love the fact that everyone is just as excited by the others gifts as they are their own. And Ben is just the type of father to realise what a special gift his three boys are. Thanks for posting your stories, Tracy, so that I can enjoy them again and again :0)

Thanks for reading, Bahj! Giving is so much more fulfilling than receiving, and the Cs seemed to always realize that.

Wonderful little story, Tracy. It's never too late for the joy of Christmas, especially when it's Christmas on the Ponderosa. Bless Roy for his generosity. :)

Loved this Christmas story, Tracy. As I read it, I could see the whole scene of all of them opening their presents and each of their cheerful voices were loud and clear. I thought the footprints at the end of the story had a special and magical ring to it.

I enjoyed this story, Tracy. Christmas is such a wonderful time and having a Cartwright story to go with it makes it even better :0)

Wonderful Christmas story. Love that the boys gave Ben pictures of his wives and Adam leaving footprints in the snow. Thanks for sharing the story Tracy.

First, how very nice of Adam to have made Santa's footprints in the snow. And if they were my boys, I would have put their pictures in the three frames.
A genuinely heart-warming story. I could picture them in their jammies and robes in front of the fire, opening their gifts. For a first story, this is as wonderful as anything anyone has written who's been writing for years. Thank you for posting so that we, here, could read it. <3

Thank you, Adamant. Adam was a clever young man who only wanted his brothers to be happy.

Great-The story added to the importance of the familiar sliver frames. No wonder Ben cherrished them so much.
