"Suited to a T — A Christmas Story for the Little Ones at Home"

Want a nice little pre-Christmas treat? I found "Suited to a T — A Christmas Story for the Little Ones at Home" on the Library of Congress website, and it's a darling tale in which tea features quite prominently.

In this scene, we're told that "Dear grandmamma" was a woman who "often sipped her tea and smiled when listening to the happy child."

And I won't spoil the story by telling you what "Dear grandmamma" got from Santa Claus, but since this booklet was published by the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, I'll bet you can guess! Click here if you'd like to read this tale for yourself.

  4. What a darling story! Made even more precious when I realized that The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company was otherwise known as A&P, which was my grandfather's favorite grocery store. After he retired, he took over the kitchen and shopping duties. I loved going to the A&P with him. Sweet memories! :)
