A must have book at Christmas time.
The stories in this book show the true magic and spirit of Christmas. This book will move you like no other book has before. The stories tell of the human sacrifices and joys during Christmas. The stories will leave a huge lump in your throat. I have read these stories to my 3 boys every Christmas for the past 8 or 9 years and even now that they are growing up, they ask, Dad are you going to read to us tonight from the story book?

This book is chock full of stories, poems, recipes, etc.
I love this book! It's full of stories, poems, anecdotes, recipes, and carols which warm the heart and get you in the mood for Christmas. Norman Rockwell's accompanying paintings add the perfect touch!

What a wonderful Christmas Book!!!
I got this book at a museum that was having an exhibit of Norman Rockwell's work. When I got home I sat down with it and flipped through. I love the Christmas pictures that he did. And the stories that were chosen are perfect for this book. I don't have children, but I can see how reading to them from this book would be a perfect childhood tradition to have. I am so glad I got this book.
