touching story

This is a classic to help remind us of all that we have and all those who do not. It is a must read, something you will never forget.

Don't overlook this book!

This is an awesome book. I bought a pair of socks to go with the "Socks for Christmas" book and that was the Christmas gift this year. Made it easy but special. Everyone loved it! The book was short and sweet, only an 11 minute listen on the CD that was included. (Less than that if you read it.) It was nice to be reminded of the true meaning of Christmas. Highly recommended.

Socks for Christmas

This book is what Christmas is all about. We were at a party and the host's gave everyone this book with a pair of socks as we listened to the story. It was so moving that we did the same for our children on Christmas Eve. Loved it!!

A story you'll never forget, read it to your children

I gave this to my 15 year daughter before I had a chance to read it. She came down from her room later with a tear in her eye, but with a deeper understanding of the true meaning of Christmas. It will touch your heart and it will make you laugh, truely a story for all ages. I'm almost fifty and the pictures of the retro toys are great. Put this one away with "The Night Before Christmas", in the box with the Christmas decorations. You'll want to make reading it a Christmas tradition, whether you read it yourself or listen to Andy on the CD, it's a great way to kick off the season. Merry Christmas
