It’s time to start getting ready for Christmas. I always heave a sigh and think, “already? Didn’t we just have Christmas a little while ago?”
My favorite way to get in the mood for Christmas is to read all the lovely books I’ve collected over the years. My absolute favorite is A Small Miracle by Peter Collington. I originally bought this book about four years ago when a complete stranger came up to me in Barnes and Noble and pressed the book into my hands. She said, “if you’re looking for a wonderful Christmas book, you have to get this.” It was such a puzzling thing to do that I couldn’t say no.
The woman was right. It is simple and powerful. There are no words in this book. Even so, it is a very touching story about love and charity and Christ and giving. So gentle and sweet. I can’t look at it without getting prickly tears in my eyes. The very best sort of Christmas story.
yeah, and thanks to you it's now out of stock at Amazon. Did you know you had such influence? I need a new Christmas book–I'll be picking up this one(unless, of course, your recommendation wiped out every B&N as well).
Dang it, and I just ordered some books last night from Amazon! I get used books, also, so maybe they have a few?
I have a collection of great holiday books, so thats cool to have a new one….thanks for the suggestion.
I have never heard of that book – I will have to check it out now!
Thanks for the recommend 🙂
No words, yet still a touching book. Now that does sound like a good find.
I’m inspired to find it. You don’t hear a recommendation like that everyday.
ditto on conni!! i think i am going to have to head out to the book store! thanks 🙂
