It's about family
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Each year, at Thanksgiving or near Christmas, we drive to a nearby town for the celebration of a family holiday. We take this audiotape with us. And after many years, it remains fresh and new. Ferrol Sams has not only the magic gift of story-telling, he also IS a storyteller. This is priceless.
Times Gone By
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This story allows one to get lost in a time gone by, when life was slower and simpler. Family was treasured then and you would have given your shirt to get home to that family, especially at Christmas. Ferroll Sams really shares some of the most endearing traits of the South that will make Southerners close their eyes to day-dream about their past, and leave other readers wishing they could truly relate.

Having been born and raised in the South, this book brought home memories of my own Christmases in the South. I could assign my own family member's names to his female family! I have to read this book every Christmas or something is missing from my celebration!
I read this out loud to my family every year.

Sams weaves a marvelous tapestry of time and place, family and traditions, childhood dreams and aged wisdom into a beautiful story of Christmastime in rural Georgia. His poetic style is as riveting and splendid as the story itself.
Charming, tender account of a family's Christmas traditions
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Dr. Sams' personal reminiscense of the holiday season delivers both rich detail of his boyhood in the South of the Depression and the timeless emotions of sharing love and joy that are the essence of Christmas. This uplifting book is short enough to read and re-read each Christmas season. It would be a fine gift for anyone who treasures family traditions, historical detail, and the wonder and excitement of the holiday season. Delightful!
