Whenever the Tiny Prints staffers really love something, we tend to start speaking in broken French. It’s not uncommon to hear someone exclaiming, “J’adore!” or “Tres adorable!”

We even love perusing  French boutiques online to find little lemon yellow pea coats and frilly lace dresses for chic Parisian bébés.

Naturally, we were overwhelmingly excited when we found this precious petite fille telling stories about Winnie the Pooh and a hippopotamus. She’s so cute, it’s no wonder the word “adorable” is international!

My family is obsessed with books, poems and all things literary, so as a child I spent every Christmas Eve listening to my mother read Pigs at Christmas—a classic story about a family of pigs who prepares for the holidays by getting a tree, decorating their home and baking burnt blueberry binkies for Santa. The book is no longer in print, but we still cherish reading it every year.

If your family wants to start a new literary tradition for the holidays, try reading one of these classic Christmas stories in online format tomorrow night. Or you can always order a vintage copy of Pigs at Christmas—I promise you won’t regret it!
