In this holiday gift edition, Alice Taylor returns to share the warm glow of a child's Yuletide celebration. Her tales of the season and the Irish countryside sparkle with magic -- from the gathering of holly to the capturing of geese. Taylor beautifully recalls the wondrous innocence of youth, where every snow-dusted corner of the landscape holds a joyful surprise.
I was planning to read this between Thanksgiving and Christmas, but took an early peek and couldn't stop reading it. What a charming story about preparation, and things that really matter - people, and the necessities. Makes one realize all the clutter we've added to the holiday doesn't make it better, just more stressful.
A wonderful Christmas book

This is my favorite book about Christmas. Ms. Taylor makes you feel like you are part of her Irish family, and makes Christmas in Ireland seem like a very special place.
