A Cup of Christmas Tea

This is one of my favorite stories. I play it every Christmas and I give it as presents. A wonderful CD and I would recommend as a must for everyone.

A Christmas pleasure

The story itself is wonderful. The story of a young man who feels obligated to visit his aunt who has had a stroke and is not the same person that she was when she hosted the Christmas get togethers in the past. Or is she? You will be delighted with the author's telling of his tale. His voice conveys the feelings and the story takes you there. To the family gatherings of your past and to the people who were so important to them. A wonderful Christmas story and a delightful Christmas Gift.

Delightful

I picked up the cassette version in Hanover, NH while visiting the bookstore there, then my wife and I listened to it on the drive home to Connecticut. We'd heard about the book, but hadn't read it. What a treat. First, it surprised us to hear it in rhyme. But it wasn't rhymy, if you know what I mean. It flowed, and the sentences weren't doing somersaults to make the rhyme scheme work. It was great prose, too, not just poetry. And the narrative which carried the sentiment was so touching. Not even a half hour for both this story and the sequel, both of which were on the same cassette. Lovely. Delightful. Sorry I hadn't discovered it earlier. reviewed by Steve Burt, author of A CHRISTMAS DOZEN FROM THE CHRISTMAS STORY PASTOR.
