In this acclaimed bestseller, President Carter returns to his early years in Plains, Georgia, the same locale that enchanted readers of An Hour Before Daylight, which The New Yorker called "an American classic." He remembers the Christmas days of his boyhood and later years, re-creating here the simplicity of community and celebration with family and friends. Jimmy Carter has written another American classic in the tradition of Truman Capote's A Christmas Memory and Dylan Thomas's A Child's Christmas in Wales. The Carter family, although poor during the Great Depression is rich with love and thoughtfulness for each other and their neighbors.
This is a Christmas classic. Beautiful and great gift copy!

Enjoyable read and pleasant read by carter himself. He tells of the memories he hold dear and gives insight into why President Carter is so giving of himself.

An enjoyable read. I love Jimmy Carter as a person and past president. He's an amazing person and this book shows that.
Qucik, easy read. Some interesting facts about Jimmy Carter' childhood/family history, and thier traditions for Christmas.
I had this cassette for years and never listened to it. Finally I did listen to it and found it very entertaining. The former President's memories are very interesting and were enjoyable to hear.
My grandmother thoroughly enjoyed this story (Large-print edition).
this is a beautiful book to read.
It was very interesting to listen to for sure.
Following the hugely successful memoir of his boyhood, An Hour Before Daylight, Jimmy Carter now remembers Christmas in Plains---this very special day provides a source of spiritual inspiration, respite, family ties, friendship, vacation fun and the simplicity of community.
