Full of What Makes Christmas Magical!

Great stories, easy to read, moving...worth reading. Some are true, some make believe but they all point toward the real meaning of Christmas - Christ! A great coffee table book that you will pick up year after year as you don't sit down and read it cover to cover. A wonderful gift!

Great book for family reading at Christmas

I have used this book for two years during Advent to read aloud to my family as we finish dinner. My 12 year-old at first thought it was silly, but she is always captivated by the stories. I like the blend of fiction, nonfiction, sentimental, and compelling selections. We have learned about Christmas for some Civil War soldiers, read some old classics such as The Gift of the Magi, and discovered some new authors we like. I highly recommend the book as a way to combat the secular focus of Christmas, without being preachy.
