Aunt Susanna's Thanksgiving Dinner
Aunt Susanna's Thanksgiving Dinner | Lucy Maud Montgomery
3 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
A heartwarming holiday tale from the author of Anne of Green Gables. Lucy Maud Montgomery was born at Clifton (now New London), Canada, on November 30, 1874. Before she grew up to be a best-selling author, young Lucy Maud Montgomery was raised by her grandparents on Prince Edward Island. Imaginative and tenacious, she loved to write. When Maud was sixteen, she published her first poem, but it took years of hard work and perseverance before she published her masterpiece, Anne of Green Gables, and its sequels. She was also a prolific writer of short stories and poetry. She published some 500 short stories and poems and twenty novels before her death in 1942.

Another good short story for #KindredSpiritsChristmas - Four sisters who live on their own have a rich & very opinionated Aunt Susanna. Two of them are tasked with making Thanksgiving dinner for her & her guests, & problems arise when the neighbors‘ dog gets in the house & destroys the turkey & sides. It all works out & Aunt Susanna decides to pay for one of the girls to go to college. Cute & cozy as always. 4⭐️

Starting off #KindredSpiritsChristmas with a Thanksgiving story in which disagreeable Aunt Susanna needs a favor… giving her nieces the chance to prove themselves capable! I enjoyed this little tale of Thanksgiving dinner mishaps. It‘s all very LMM—and what a great picture she draws of Aunt Susanna in just a few lines of dialogue! #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead

TheAromaofBooks I'm so sad because I ordered a used copy of the Christmas stories two weeks ago and it still hasn't shipped!! 2y
BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks 😭 I put a copy on hold at the library and it barely arrived in time—came in on the 30th. And then I realized the Thanksgiving story isn‘t in it! Have you been able to find stories online? 2y
AnneCecilie @TheAromaofBooks I searched for it online and found it. 2y

julieclair I loved this story! The relationship between the sisters was so sweet and supportive. 💙 I have not been able to find a copy of the actual book, so I'm piecing the stories together. I found this one on Scrib'd. 2y
julieclair I thought this line was so cute: "Put the pies in the oven in time to get piping hot—lukewarm mince pies are an abomination.".... I love mince pies, but will have to be sure never to eat a lukewarm slice again! ??

BarbaraJean @TheAromaofBooks Also, @quietjenn has put together a Word doc with all the stories, if you want to connect with her and get a copy of that! 2y
BarbaraJean @julieclair I loved that line about the mince pies, too! 2y
TheAromaofBooks I messaged the person I bought the book from, and Pango hadn't notified her that she had sold it lol So she is supposed to put it in the mail for me tomorrow!! 2y
rubyslippersreads @TheAromaofBooks Here‘s a Project Gutenberg link to an LMM book that has this story: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/24877 2y

There‘s nothing new in this story, but it has the same entertaining mishaps and humor as many of L.M. Montgomery‘s stories. I enjoyed it with a glass of cranberry wine this evening to start off my holiday reading.

BarbaraJean It was a fun, cozy story to start off with! And cranberry wine sounds like the perfect accompaniment. 🍷📚 2y
