Book Reviews of Christmas Every Day
Book Review: Am I missing something?
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this book thinking it would be a wonderful story about gratitude for what we have. It literally only says that if Christmas were every day, the clutter would pile up and we wouldn't get to celebrate any other holidays. It shows pictures of an exhausted mother, people throwing away presents, etc. Then the people dump the candy in the ocean and make the fish sick. Then, I'm not kidding you, they burn all the extra gifts. There is no mention of gratitude, giving to others - anything! There is obviously no mention of the true meaning of Christmas - God forbid! But even in a purely secular rendition of Christmas, the lack of anything meaningful, heart warming or kind was appalling. And the way the girl speaks is incomprehensible. She says to Santa about his leather boots, "Bargain's done forever" and then at the end she says to her Dad,"Don't you tell what!" huh?? What is she saying??
Summary of Christmas Every Day
The Christmas Box phenomenon continues with this special audio edition of the 19th-century classic Christmas tale featured in the multimillion-copy #1 best seller The Christmas Box and read by its author, Richard Paul Evans."Here is a charming Christmas tale. Read this to your little one.' I took the book from her outstretched arm and examined the title -- Christmas Every Day by William Dean Howells." So recalls the narrator in Richard Paul Evans' The Christmas Box, as the elderly heroine Mary Parkin begins to help him see the importance of spending time with his daughter and leads him to an understanding of the true meaning of Christmas in the story that has captured the hearts of millions of listeners and readers.
Fans of The Christmas Box -- and anyone with a special holiday wish -- will listen with delight as Evans reads Howells' 1892 classic tale of a little girl who learns why Christmas comes but once a year...and how strange life would be if it really could be Christmas Every Day!
