A CHRISTMAS TO REMEMBER By CHARLIE JONES

"A Christmas to Remember" by Charlie Jones is a warmly full and compelling book. This is an anthology of stories and anecdotes that will reach out and touch emotions and Christmas memories deep inside every reader. The 36 separate experiences presented in the book made up the Christmas lives of many people, some famous, and others a bit less publicly visible. These are folks of all ages, living through separate Christmas experiences. Unless you are made of stone, these remembrances will cause you honest and spontaneous smiles, out loud laughter and occasionally a few compassionate tears as you read a life or two unfolding. I was so fascinated by each of the stories; I read one after the other, eagerly consuming the book as fast as I could. Then I realized I wanted to be able to spread my enjoyment out over several days to savor the collection. I also wanted to share these stories by talking with my grandchildren about them and my memories these stories brought to my mind. I decided to read only 5 stories a day. That gave me a full week of warm fuzzy feelings to build into Christmas this year. I intend to keep this book for many years in the future as a catalyst to help my family remember how wonderful the Christmas spirit really can be.

I love this little book. Charlie Jones has a gift for pulling together genuine people and their wonderful memories for all to share. I would highly recommend this fine book for yourself and as a gift.

If you have grown too old or "too wise" to believe in Santa Claus or Christmas, read this book. In just 78 pages Charlie Jones takes you around the world for a magical remembrance of big and little events you will recall...becasue most of them have happened to you in some way...you just forgot. Thanks Charlie for my 62 Christmases to Remember. Ed

This little book can easily be read in an evening. But unlike "popcorn movies" or books which entertain and then can't be remembered the next day this little gem stays with you. Something about the way it is crafted. Reading stories of not just good but also bad Christmases helped me dredge up and polish up my own memories of Christmases past. I bought copies as stocking stuffers for others but enjoyed it so much I decided to keep a copy for me!

Don't know what to get your childs teacher or a co-worker? Well, "A Christmas to Remember" is the perfect gift. Terrific stories from the distant past and some not so long ago. Everyone has their favorite Christmas story and this book makes you remember them. A GREAT Stocking Stuffer!

This sensational book immediately put me in the Christmas spirit. Christmas is all about personal memories and sharing and this book details many such stories. What a great concept and what a perfect way to share the spirit of the season. I've read many of Charlie's books and in each one he has a unique knack to glean impactful and inspiring anecdotes. This is a must read by EVERYONE who BELIEVES!! Nothing will define the season better than, "A Christmas to Remember!" This book series should be called, "Eggnog for the Soul."

I really enjoyed reading the various stories shared in this festive book. I only wish there were more! The stories were all very sweet and personal, a great gift to share with anyone.

A wonderful read and thoughtful treat for the young and not so young.

A Christmas to Remember was a pleasure to read and is the kind of book I like to give as a gift. It was a nice journey to be able to share in other Christmas experiences. I will be reading it again and again.

"A Christmas To Remember" allowed me to feel a part of other people and what they remember most. It's funny how everyone who celebrates the same or similar holidays finishes with a very special yet different memory. Each of us capture a different image of the same person opening a gift. This book provides a brief moment into others cherished traditions and remembrances while allowing our own mind to expand on our own treasures of the holiday season. These stories placed a smile on my face and warmth in my heart. Enjoy!
