The Christmas Cup
By Rhonda

Rebecca,
The author's name is Nancy Ruth Patterson. I came across the book through a fellow teacher. She had ordered a class set from Scholastic. It is about a girl named Megan who buys an antique milkshake cup| at an auction. Megan and her grandmother secretly call it the Christmas cup. They put money in it to buy a gift for someone who had been good to them during the past year. It was a secret between the two of them. Megan gets into some trouble involving a Mennonite (similar to Amish) and realizes people are different and is ashamed of what she has done. She also spends some time with | |
an elderly lady. Finally at the end of the book, Nannie and Megan decide who to buy a gift for and leave it at their doorstep in the middle of the night. It has a great Christmas lesson behind it--giving is better than receiving. I know you can buy it on Amazon. You can search by typing in the author's last name. Hope you enjoy it!
