Book Reviews of A Family Christmas
Book Review: The True Spirit of Christmas from Every Angle
Summary: 5 Stars
A Family Christmas is the best collection of Christmas scriptures, carols, poetry, letters, anecdotes, essays, short stories, sections from novels, and true stories that I can imagine being assembled in one volume. Caroline Kennedy makes the book special by including her own and her family's experiences with Christmas to make you feel part of her family. If you want one family-oriented book to add to your Bible for considering Christmas, I recommend this one very highly.
For weeks, my wife has been telling me stories about Christmas that I had never heard before. I was very impressed. Then, I read A Family Christmas and found all of the stories here, word for word. You, too, can be a Christmas expert!
Before starting on the book, I made a mental list of my favorite writing about Christmas. Sure enough, except for including the whole beginnings of Matthew and Luke, everything was here.
The best part, however, was finding that more than half of the writing was new to me. And I liked the writing I hadn't seen before as much as what was familiar. That's nice.
Part of the charm of the book is that it includes the origins of Christmas (both reputable and disreputable) as well as our favorite fictions (such as Santa Claus). I got a big kick out of reading Macy's directions for their store Santas. I suspect you will, too.
Now, you might think that January would be a bad time to buy a book about Christmas. I think it's the best time because now you have more time to think about the spiritual meaning of the celebration which A Family Christmas will reinforce. I play Christmas carols all year around. Why not read about Christmas all year around (and sing some of the carols in the book)?
May God bless you in the name of Jesus!
