December 1st - It was on this day in history in 1835 that Hans Christian Anderson published his first book of fairytales. I remember a huge book I had when I was a child. It was filled with great stories like Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Hansel and Gretel and a whole bunch more. My mom would pick up that heavy thing and ask me to choose a story to be read before bed. Aaaahhhhh memories. I’d be tucked snuggly in bed, my blankets and comforter cocooned around me, and my mom sitting with me as she read my favorite story. Even though it may have seemed like a simple routine to her, it’s the backbone of my childhood and something that always made me feel effortlessly happy, not to mention helped me develop the most active imagination ever!
