Filled With Christmas Spirit

I'm a big Susan Mallery fan and love her Fool's Gold series. Each book introduces us to new characters and lets us visit old friends we met in previous books.  Though part of a series, it is also a great stand alone story, but be prepared to stay up late reading because you won't want to put it down.

CHRISTMAS ON 4th STREET is a wonderful story to share with friends and family.  Susan Mallery makes her characters so real with life situations, it's easy to relate them with our lives or someone we know.  This story touches your heart, making you care, laugh and cry....plus it help you remember that even when you don't have the perfect family situation, Christmas is a time for forgiveness, healing, and hope for your "happy ever after".  It's a perfect way to share the Christmas Spirit with those you love.

A beautiful Christmas story that brought tears my eyes and joy to my heart. This is just what I needed this Christmas and it put me in the spirit. A quick read, great to share with family and to read to children. I've been reading Christmas books this season and I just couldn't engage in the formulaic stories, but this one is different. It has that spark of genuineness, that I can only describe as love. It hit the "Christmas" spot.  I loved it.

With all the pop, rock, kiddie and silly Christmas stuff out there, it's so wonderful to be able to enjoy a variety of the traditional carols and hymns richly delivered. If you love Christmas music filling your home, this is the deal of the century-- 45 tracks of high-quality, comforting pieces. The premise is that this is the sort of music that would have been played at Downton Abbey, and it makes sense since actors from the show sing several of the pieces. This is probably going to be one of the best sellers of the year. I recommend this as an EARLY present for friends and family so they can enjoy it throughout the holidays.

For my family, this is truly The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

It has songs, devotions, scriptures, Christmas traditions, crafts, recipes and more activities to last you year after year. As a Christian family, we have a special appreciation for Christian faith-based stories  and The Most Wonderful Time of the Year doesnt disappoint.

Merry Christmas!

Imagine you're walking through a beautiful Christmas crafts shop...maybe somewhere near Gatlinburg or out in an old small country town marveling at the decor and the beautiful Christmas gifts. The lights are twinkling, you're carrying around a warm cup of hot chocolate and stopping near the crackling fire place. You take in the warm scent of pine, cinnamon and nutmeg mixed with some other spices you can't quite distinguish. Not too loudly you hear this beautiful dulcimer music floating through the air with some of your favorite carols played in the historic traditions of our ancestors. Immediately you know this is how Christmas music should be enjoyed.

This is how I got sucked into buying this CD...and I've been hooked ever since!! When I have people over to celebrate the season or if I want to curl up by the fire next to the Christmas tree, this is the CD I put in. This is THE ultimate Christmas mood music!!

This is a beautiful story of a family that takes treats out to the forest creatures in winter, finds a reindeer, and takes him home only to find him gone in the morning. They soon receive a personal thank you letter from Santa!

This is a gorgeously illustrated picture book that really evokes the spirit of Christmas. The layer of snow flurries over each page really bring that cold winter feel and add to the magic of the story itself.

This is one I'd be glad to add to growing pile of Christmas books.

Religious references.

Melody Carlson used her characters in this book to help the reader realize what a blessing someone can be during the Christmas season. Her simple, yet moving flow kept me wondering who the next recipients of Christmas Joy were going to be and the way one woman with her able assistant would bring overflowing joy in the lives of others.

What a fun way to get in the Christmas spirit.  I love how both stories involve characters that have interwoven life's.  Each story focuses on one of the two main characters.

I love reading books about how Christmas goodwill, the Christmas spirit changes people's life. In this story the Christmas Spirit is not only an allegory, but a person. She arrives in a community where some people need her help to make their life happier. I was hooked from the beginning by the interesting plot and the loveable characters. There was an unusual twist at the end that made me smile. It is a real feel-good story and I was happy to hear that there is a sequel to it.

I saw this book while out shopping and decided I wanted to order it and have it as a coffee table book for the Holidays.  Any time I wanted to get into the Christmas Spirit, or get some holiday inspiration, I would just grab this book and look through all the wonderful festive photos. I am thrilled with the book and I'm glad I ordered it.

I enjoyed this wonderful Christmas story. When you are the middle son and have left town to pursue a career and come home for 2 weddings and run into a beautiful woman in your brothers house, it makes for a interesting evening. At the same time you have a wonderful lady trying to start over after finding out she is adopted. Sparks fly and love finds a way at Christmastime.
