review 1: I really enjoyed reading this book and sharing it with my family. I had intended on reading it with my family this Christmas, but things got so busy that we read the first bit together, and then I finally wound up summarizing the rest to share where my thoughts were going as far as Christmas presents/traditions I wanted to share this year. Next year I am hoping we can read it the whole way through as a family. I have been not enjoying some of what I felt was too much commercialism at Christmas time, and this helped me put a bit more perspective into what I was getting for family and why. At the end of the day, after reading this I thought if I died and my family decided to celebrate my life every year by giving presents to one another to celebrate my life and the gift ... moreof my life to each of them....I couldn't ask for a better way to celebrate my life! My oldest daughter had recommended this book to me, and I'm really glad I listened and read it!
review 2: Emily shares her tradition of focusing on 7 figures in the nativity and centering an evening around each one before placing it in the nativity scene. Christmas Eve or Christmas morning is when Jesus is placed in the manger. I just love how she thought about each piece and what they might have been experiencing and feeling that special evening. She shares some ideas on how she has made her Christmases more Christ-centered and it all started when her little girl told her one day that she (Emily) believed in Jesus but she (the daughter) believed in Santa Claus. I think that would cause any Christian to scratch their head and try to do things a little differently. less

Good idea of teaching your children about the Savior during Christmas. I'll tweak some of her ideas.
