Christmas Eve 1914

Christmas Eve 1914 By: Charles Olivier

This was a Christmas gift from audible, its a dramatization so it took awhile to get used to but once I did it was a wonderful story to listen to. It was from a surviving officers point of view, who is writing a letter to the mother of a fallen comrade. I really enjoyed listening to it.

My Masters Touch

My Master's Touch  By: Lynda M. Nelson

I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!! Seriously I love reading this book every Christmas season and I cry at the end ever time without fail. SERIOUSLY LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!
It's the story of Meshak a little burro that was born the same night as Jesus. He tells the story of growing up with Jesus and traveling with him. Meshak tells of the Saviors ministering time here on the earth through his eyes. It's such a sweet and innocent perspective. This is the book I chose for our book club this month and I am really looking forward to talking about it and seeing what everyone thought. 

A Christmas Carol

A Christmas Carol By: Charles Dickens

I have always been intimidated by this book, like I am with most of Charles Dickens books. I'm not exactly sure why. I am use to reading classics and old English, from Jane Austen, Mary Shelly, and even Shakespeare. But for some reason Charles Dickens books always make me pause before I read them. However I am glad I did. I am definitely familiar with this story through the countless movies that have been made. However reading it was different and interesting. It seemed to me that Charles Dickens was so excited about this book and getting his message across. At least that's what I felt while I was reading it. I did thoroughly enjoy this book and I can see it becoming a tradition every Christmas season to re-read it.
