One of our favorite episodes this time of year is from Season 1 Episode 15, "Christmas at Plum Creek." With Christmas approaching, everyone works hard to make the holidays special. While Mary begins working overtime for the town seamstress, Charles raises extra money by reconstructing some wagon wheels. Still, perhaps the biggest shock comes from Laura, whose personal sacrifice will reaffirm everyone’s understanding of the meaning of Christmas. https://littlehouseontheprairie.com/season-1-episod
