Anne Estelle (the Queen of Christmas) started The List right after Christmas last year， and now it is very， very long. As this year's Christmas celebration approaches， there is so much to do—sledding， baking， trimming the tree—that the Queen has trouble finishing The List in time. That's okay—Santa is sure to bring exactly the right gifts anyway， whether they are on The List or not! Bestselling illustrator Mary Engelbreit invites readers to join Ann Estelle as she romps through the Christmas season in this merry， heartwarming story. ，When she decides to participate in such fun holiday festivities as ice-skating and tree-trimming with her family， Ann Estelle is distracted from her Christmas mission--to devise "The List，" which details everything she wants， from a sparkly red-sequined skating outfit to a piano. Reprint.，Although Ann Estelle focuses on her wish list as Christmas approaches， her best memories have little to do with the presents she receives.
