Thanks to those that mentioned "A Christmas Memory." I remembered seeing it years ago on TV, and couldn't remember the name. But when I looked it up on Amazon and the book's jacket had that phrase "Buddy, it's time to make the fruitcakes!" I knew it was the one. I ordered both the book and the video, and also "A Thanksgiving Visitor."
Thanks; I remembered it as a sweet story, and I look forward to reading it and seeing it again!
I am in my 5th re-read (I read it each Advent since I received it) of Winter Solstice - A Novel, by Rosamunde Pilcher. It is just a warm and beautiful story. Also, each Christmas I read A Child's Christmas in Wales - a Wonderful memoir, and I identify with the Auntie who drinks the brandy out of her teacup...and then lustily sings carols in the back yard. Also A Christmas Box is a new favorite and John-Boy was great in the tv movie. So many good suggestions to read - thanks!

Another huge thanks to those who recommended Truman Capote's "A Christmas Memory." I just got in via interlibrary loan and read it last night. It is one of the most poignant and touching stories I have read in a long while, lovely though sad. I'm going to buy a copy for keeps - and maybe try to make a fruitcake.
