This review is from: Family Countdown to Christmas (Paperback)

This wonderful book takes the reader through the days of the Christmas season with an activity for each day. My family and I looked forward to each day's activity and found we treasured the time spent together . . . without the television set on! We plan to make it a yearly tradition.
