Perfect for Christmas!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I have been looking for a book that is inspiring and maybe will help me get in the Christmas mood. This book is it. It's a perfect size gift to put in someone's stocking ~~ and it's a perfect reminder of what Christmas is really about. This little story starts off with six-year-old David finding his father dead on Christmas day. Understandably, he would never celebrate Christmas day for a long time till he has a little brother who came along and wanted to celebrate Christmas. Not only is this a story about Christmas, it is a story about life and death. It is about friendships and love, how even when loved ones pass on, they are still within our hearts. It is a beautiful little reminder of joy and peace ~~ and a must-read for every reader, who longs to remember what Christmas is about. 12-5-07
a favorite indeed!

Death came early that christmas morning...but the book, I never quite have forgotten. I loved it the first time I read it and each time since. Although small and, yes, perfect to get stuffed in a christmas stocking, it should not be forgotten or dismissed as a sad and sappy christmas novel. In the holiday season we are supposed to remember that great things come in small packages, which is very true with The Christmas Wish.
