This book always brings a tear to my eye on the last page. I bought it for my daughter for my son's first Christmas. I was amazed at how similar our family traditions are to the family in the story. And they have a cat just like us! My daughter LOVES it and reads it year round. And ever since she got it, she's taken to calling my son "our present" because he is "the best gift of all" (that's the part that always gets me).
