Welcome to the MOSL Book Challenge
This is a wonderfully told and beautifully illustrated Christmas story. Little Cub and Mama go searching for God to see how He gave us Christmas.I picked it up to share with our preschool children at church, but feel the message would be enjoyed by and inspire people of all ages. 40 pages.
This book, compiled in 1903, was filled with Christmas stories that were new to me. I especially liked "The Night After Christmas" when a visit from a doctor becomes necessary because the children ate too much Christmas candy! 21 pages.
While I see at least one version of A Christmas Carol movie every year, I probably last read the book in its entirety over 20 years ago. This is one of my Christmas favorites. I can still hear my dad reading us the story with his gravelly voice. (Until we were able to read it on our own!) It is a powerful social statement as well as a heartwarming holiday classic. Included in this edition are a brief biography on Charles Dickens as well as some of his lesser known Christmas stories. This read was well worth the return visit. 114 digital pages.
This book actually contains two historical romances set at Christmastime. The first, Holiday Spirit by Kay Hooper, is a boy-gets-girl-boy-loses-girl-boy-gets-girl-back scenario with three Christmas ghosts helping the cause. The second, Surrender by Lisa Kleypas, involves an arranged marriage that gets off to a bad start. Can the Irish businessman win the love of his aristocrat-born wife? Only time will tell! These were quick, light reads. 326 pages.
