My December reading goals were woefully over-enthusiastic, and just today I finally read Christmas Jars, which was sent to me by the publisher for review. I sincerely wish I'd gotten to it sooner.
This short novel is a touching reminder of the joy of family and the spirit of Christmas. Curled up under a blanket my mother recently made for me, I had tears rolling down my face as I finished the book. It was well worth the read - even (or maybe especially) a week past the Christmas hoopla, since the message of loving our fellow beings is not one just for Christmas.
The story suggests a great Christmas tradition, but it really is one that starts right after Christmas. So if you're looking for a way to make Christmas more meaningful this coming December, take a look at Christmas Jars now. You can also check out the book website and the author's blog.

OH, I'm so glad you enjoyed this as much as I did. I gave it to one of my daughters for Christmas. She always keeps a jar filled with change, so now she can start a new tradition with it. :)
