Each story contains a thoughtful message to help your family experience a Christ-centered holiday season. Accompanied by beautiful vintage illustrations from some of the most celebrated children's book illustrators, this elegant edition is destined to become a family Christmas favorite.

The illustrations are just beautiful. I loved the quotes and all the stories.

This was nice, but not 100% what I was expecting. Some of the stories included in the book didn't seem to pertain to Christmas to me, which is what I was looking for. However, it was nice, and there were a lot of good stories and quotes. I was just expecting something a little different than it was.

A very nice themed collection. Worth sharing every Christmas!

This book is designed to read one section a day from the 1st to the 25th of December. We did this for our family reading time during the month of December and even though we didn't quite stay on schedule, we did finish before the end of the month and I really thought the stories helped set the mood for the season! Some of the information was recycled, but several stories and quotes were new.

Excellent resource for Christmas poems, scriptures, anecdotes and memories shared by lots of well-known people. I will refer to this book every year for FHE ideas or just ideas for making Christmas a little more meaningful.
