Book Review of Christmas Memories

Christmas Memories
reviewed on + 21 more book reviews


This book is a collection of Christmas memories and traditions from many amazing women. The author has compiled all the stories into three sections: 

Part One - The Memories of Christmas Past

Part Two - The Memories of Christmas Present

Part Three - Creating the Memories of Christmas Future 

Part One is definitely my most-liked section in the entire book, while Part Three is my least liked section. 

Here are a few of my favorites:

"Another Kind of Christmas" by Naomi Judd - Describing the year that Naomi, Larry (her husband), Wynonna, and Ashley decide to "take Christmas back from the media". 

"The Simple Pleasures of Christmas" by Jeanie Matthews Price - Recounting the present her mother gave to the entire family because of the sincerity and love that it symbolized. 

"Our Christmas Crèches" by Terry Meeuwsen - I giggled over Terry's son J.P. telling his mother not to forget "those three wise guys".  Additionally, I chuckled over the rearranging of the manger scene by her children. For example, the "three wise guys being placed on the roof and the sheep standing on their heads".
