Christmas Memories

I read this book aloud to my family before Christmas. The book brought up many similar memories for us.Although the cover is rather plain the interior of this book is very pleasing. The type, color and layout are excellent for a book in this price range. The book is basically two chapters, the first is about his childhood memories about selecting and cutting a Christmas tree. The second part is about his first Christmas shopping trip. Both of these take place in West Texas during the Depression. Greene blends the views of a young boy along with a skillful description of the activities and place. The last page is particularly meaningful.A thoroughly enjoyable read.
