5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful Christmas story for children., June 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Southern Love For Christmas (Hardcover)

I have read this story to my daughter every Christmas since we first got it. We both love it! It focuses on the real meaning of Christmas as a time for family and love rather than all the fancy, expensive presents we see so much today. When we talk about the story we are able to see how the love in our own family is what makes Christmas special.
