The book does a wonderful job of pointing out the magic of Christmas and how our society has turned from a celebration of the holiday and spirit of Christmas to a shopping ordeal and loss of good will.  It does a good job of returning nostalgic thoughts when Christmas held a ton of wonder for kids and parents getting the chance to see the utter joy and anticipation in their child's eyes.  I loved being able to picture Christmas like it was as a child and should be today.

I went on a nostalgia trip and this was a stop on the road. Sounds the same now as it did when I was a totally different person as a teenager. It's like looking at a photo album from your past with your ears.

I absolutely love this story! It was a gift to myself, and is worthy of being a gift for anyone on your list. I know I will reread it this time every year; it is full of love and the spirit of Christmas - a man giving four of his friends the gift of traveling back in time to an event that was special to them. All I can say is WOW.

It's a nice look back at a time when things moved at a slower, and calmer, pace.  The history of some of New York's best holiday traditions is a fun read.  I wish there were more pictures rather than illustrations, and color rather than black and white, but that said, it would make a nice gift for someone who loves the Big Apple at Christmas.

I had this record when I was little so when I saw it out on cd I had to buy it for my kids.  We loved it this holiday season.  It took me way back in time and was just as much fun now as it was then.  All Christmas, every time we got in the car my kids wanted to hear it.  If you like Christmas, you will like this cd.

This is Christmas !  I wasn't born during this era but I certainly love this kind of music.  Set down with your family and enjoy a good old fashion Christmas.

A sweet story about a magical time for us baby boomers.  A good trip back to a special time in recent (?) history.

This book was ok. sort of classical. You get to see what it is like to live in the old days and that was pretty cool. I read this as part of writing assignment for my school. It is so, but you learn what it was like back then. Moody had a ruff when her parents separated and her mother gets another man and has more kids by him and she had to work like an adult to help feed the family. It was an interesting story

This was a great book.  It transported me back in time. It reminded me of how things have changed. Worth reading.

It sort of reminded me of my childhood in Germany.  The descriptions were so real, what was called the blue in-between-seasons coat of Frau Hoffmann.  The huge American cars that could no make it through some of the narrow streets of the town.  My boyfriend at the time, now my husband of 40 years, had a 1970 Grand Prix that barely make it into our street without scraping the mirrors on either side.  A fun recollection of a time in the past with a little criminal twist.  I recommended it to my adult children to read.

This was really a treat seeing one of these after so many years.  It is exactly the same as the ones my sisters and I received at Christmas time back when we were children.  I love the way it was oiled and polished up and kept in such good condition, even to the box in is stored in, after all of these years so others could revisit their childhood past.  It's great to take a break from our wonderful technology that we have today and actually hold in my hand a piece of my childhood history.  Thanks to whoever has kept it so well. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to enjoy receiving a moment in time.

This is another remembrance of Christmas long ago. This type of movie brings a mixed feeling concerning Christmas. If you have warm memories, this movie brings them out.

Olivia was not happy about Christmas this year. For her Christmas was all about tradition. She loved doing things the way they had always been done, and she resented the fact that this year things would be very different.

This year her family had not even decorated the house for Christmas! Why bother when no one would actually be there for Christmas? They weren't going to have Christmas in Michigan. No. They were going to Aunt Fran's and Uncle Dave's in Arizona to be with Aunt Fran and Sheala, her 3 year old daughter, because Uncle Dave was stationed in Iraq! How could they possibly expect Olivia to celebrate Christmas in Arizona? There wasn't even any snow in Arizona!

Sure, Olivia had asked her mother why Aunt Fran and Sheala couldn't just come to Michigan. But since Aunt Fran was expecting a baby within a month, the doctor wouldn't let her travel.

Fine. She would go. But that didn't mean she had to be happy about it. Christmas in Arizona was NOT going to be a REAL Christmas. As far as Olivia was concerned they could cancel Christmas altogether. Wait! Cancel Christmas? THAT'S what Olivia would do! She would just cancel Christmas! They might drag her to Arizona, but she would not celebrate anything about Christmas!

Well, as the story unfolded it seems Olivia had a change of heart. She was running an errand with Aunt Fran when her life was forever changed. She decided this was not such a bad Christmas after all. In fact it just might have been the best Christmas she had ever had.

This is a great story for everyone from those old enough to listen to something this long being read to them right on up to the most the most senior ones of us. I would highly recommend it!

Memories out of the pages of my mind. Took me on a one way trip back in time. So much has changed but remains the same.
