Keeping Christmas

As the first book I've read by this author, I found his story telling style most enjoyable. It will prompt me to look for more of his work. The appeal of a Christmas story that shares typical events in a real family should be one that I will keep in my special collection to lend to friends. I had dreams of becoming a Librarian in my youth (I am now 83) so I love the bookcase that holds my collection of Christmas stories dating back almost 60 years. The oldest book is "The Shiniest Star" by Beth Vardon. My copy is now tattered and torn from countless reading to my eight children and multiple grands. I always hope to see this book brought back for the blessing it can be to future families. I know this is longer than you asked but I could not resist
