This was a lovely collection of traditions for a Christ centered Christmas. Although I don’t think I’ll be doing the specific program of focusing on one nativity piece at a time, I was still inspired as to specific things I can add to/focus on in my Christmas celebration this year to increase my family’s focus on Christ.

I liked this book. It gave me some great things to think about for future Christmas seasons. I wanted to read it now so I knew what was in it. I'm planning on reading it again when Christmas gets close again.

I should have been genetically predisposed to absolutely love this. It's a book of Christmas traditions, centering on the figures in a nativity set. Perfect for an LDS woman who is nuts about Christmas traditions and has about 40ish nativity sets on display in her house--NOW. (there will be more after Thanksgiving). And I did like the sweet book, but it just didn't go deep enough, I suppose, to have been a life-altering kind of thing. I find it puzzling that any Christian woman could be married several years before getting a first nativity set in her family. (My grandparents gave me my first one my very first Christmas, when I was all of a month old--and I've never been without one since.) This really won't replace any of the traditions we've built up-we might add a bit into one or two. But still, a nice, sweet, very quick read.
