Wonderful Holiday Gift

This is one of the best holiday books I have seen (even if I did contribute a few poems to it - LOL). It should warm every heart this Holiday Season, regardless of one's faith or inclination. A wonderful holiday gift which will last for years ... it will never go out of style ... and can be shared with every generation. The editor/author, Sheryl Roush, has done a marvelous job in compiling everything in this book
A" Sparkling" Holiday Collection

Sheryl brings together the spirit of the holidays from many different sources into a collection that pours forth traditions, meanings and thoughts of the holiday season. I already know where the books I have purchased are going. This is a gift that will continue to give far into the future.
Your Heart Will Be Opened

I just ordered several of Sheryl's new book. I have watched the gestation of this book, I have contributed to this book, and I recommend it highly because I know the gems it contains. If you are ready to have your heart opened, and then, to let it overflow with love, this is the book for you or the perfect gift to send to someone else just in time for the holidays. Let their hearts be opened, too. You just may have to change the sticker that says, "Do not open until Christmas" to now say, "Do not wait until Christmas." Enjoy.
