The Christmas Book - Julie Duckworth

What makes Christmas special to you? Is it the shopping, the cocoa by the fireside, the gathering with friends and family? Maybe it is the reading of the Christmas story with your children. Perhaps it is the school concerts or caroling in the neighborhood. Or it could be decorating the tree, putting lights on the house, sleighing with the cousins on the hill in the neighborhood or making Christmas cookies with Grandma. I'm sure each of us has our own traditions and memories that make Christmas noteworthy. Whatever it is that makes Christmas the "most wonderful time of the year" for you may be some of the same traditions that make Christmas special to me. So sit back and enjoy this look down memory lane as I rewind to the Christmases of my childhood as well as the ones spent with my children. You may contact the author at booksandfriends@hotmail.com.
