When she was in the third grade my older sister bought a little book of christmas stories with the nickles she had saved by not having milk at break time. "Christmas Every Day" is our favorite story from this carefully preserved little book. Our mother still reads "Christmas Every Day" every year for her grandchildren. Though we are all grown we still enjoy the story too. Even my oldest sister's hyper-active 7 year old sit's quietly for his grandma's reading of "Christmas Every Day."

It was a great relief for me to find that Amazon.com had "Christmas Every Day" because the little book my sister brought home in the early 1960's is quickly becoming too fragile to handle. Thanks Amazon.com, someday I hope to read "Christmas Every Day" to my grandchildren.

This volume emphasizes the value of Gratitude and sharing as guides to living an extraordinary life. I like the audio- it's a fun gift to anyone whos' heading home for the holidays-- for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Kwanza or whatever holidary you are celebrating.

I had the audio book for this and loved it and when I actually read the book,I'll love it too.

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??
