4.0 out of 5 stars Breathtaking poems for my favorite season, Christmas., November 22, 2000

By 

Dennis Morgan (Clovis, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Christmas Blessings (Hardcover)

There's no doubt in my mind that my favorite season would have to be Christmas. The time where I get to spend time with my family, exchanges gifts and drink eggnog. It's just a warm time even when it's so cold outside. This book and it's poems convey this feeling in so many different ways. I totally recommend this book for anyone who just wants to jump into that time of the year, even when it's not.

5.0 out of 5 stars WARM AND WONDERFUL!, December 20, 2000

This review is from: Christmas Blessings (Hardcover)

Warm, wonderful and just right as gifts for family and friends or to treat yourself to uplifting words encompassing this time of the year. Parents will delight in reading some of these poems to their children just before bed time. Any reader of almost any age will be comforted by this collection of Helen Steiner Rice's poems enhanced by exquisite illustrations. The book is small, compact. and can easily be read at one sitting, however I recommend just a few pages at a time. Pause, take a moment away from your busy schedules, and stress, and tension and all the pressures of life. Stop and smell the roses, look at the poinsettas, and savor the infinite timeless beauty of "Christmas Blessings".
