Review # 1 was written on 2012-09-24 00:00:00 Curtis Means What a lovely anthology of stories and poems to get me in the Christmas spirit! Included in this are also scripture, letters, and songs. I especially loved the letter from Santa (John F. Kennedy) to his daughter, Caroline, who created this compilation. Many of the stories were already familiar to me, but others were new. Here is an excerpt from one of my favorite quotes, "Keeping Christmas", by Henry Van Dyke: "It is a good thing to observe Christmas day. The mere marking of times and seasons, when men agree to stop work and make merry together, is a wise and wholesome custom. It helps one to feel the supremacy of the common life over the individual life. It reminds a man to set his own little watch, now and then, by the great clock of humanity which runs on sun time." This was taken in 1962 in Palm Beach, Florida. This was President John F. Kennedy's last Christmas. He was assassinated the following November.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-02-10 00:00:00 Tracy Nichols This is a beautiful collection of Christmas poetry, short stories, essays, letters, and song lyrics. I spent the month of December dipping into this book for an hour here and there. The illustrated book included both traditional and contemporary works from mostly American and Western European authors. It was a lovely addition to my reading this Christmas.
