Customer Reviews

savor the Christmas season

I was planning to read this between Thanksgiving and Christmas, but took an early peek and couldn't stop reading it. What a charming story about preparation, and things that really matter - people, and the necessities. Makes one realize all the clutter we've added to the holiday doesn't make it better, just more stressful.

A wonderful Christmas book

This is my favorite book about Christmas. Ms. Taylor makes you feel like you are part of her Irish family, and makes Christmas in Ireland seem like a very special place.
