I feel genuine adoration towards this book. I love it. <br />The illustrations are stunning, and really capture December in my memories. <br />The book tells the story of three siblings, (a brother and two sisters), on Christmas Eve as they find themselves unable to sleep. They creep downstairs and look at the tree (this is one of my favorite pages). They hear midnight carolers. It is incredible. <br />If you do not already have it, do your family a huge favor and look into it!! <br /><br />I recognize that I probably sound like a crazy person talking about this book like it is my soul mate, but I JUST LOVE IT THAT MUCH.Lucynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3391148493629545748.post-87409557280215630862011-12-02T20:01:38.135-10:002011-12-02T20:01:38.135-10:00Hi Vanessa, I too love the holidays but always hav...Hi Vanessa, I too love the holidays but always have mixed emotions when December arrives. I don't like obligation to give gifts but love to give. I love Christmas music... The Charley Brown melancholy kind, Elvis and hymns by everyone. I love Country Christmas, Martha Stewart, cardmaking, baking on the 23rd of December, decorating a Gorgeous tree and like you I can't wait to get it all put away and start a fresh new year. Did you ever read "The Mitten" ? I love that one. So nice to meet you at Leoda's Pie Shop #MauiTweetUp. Have a wonderful holidays! Merry Christmas. I'll keep "A Beacon Hill Christmas" in mind while thrift shopping and at the libraries on Maui. ~ MarilynThe Artful Hawaiigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17316934640884708900noreply@blogger.com
