Book Review: A Miracle Under the Christmas Tree by Jennifer Basye Sander

Ah, Christmas, a time to reminisce and share memories, love and winder! 

And I have the perfect book for you!

Synopsis: There's something truly magical about Christmas. Filled with remarkable true stories of the kindness of strangers and the blessings of answered prayers, this collection with its small miracles truly captures the spirit of the season.

These stories of hope, faith and joy are a moving tribute to the true meaning of Christmas and remind us all that the greatest gifts in life can't be gift wrapped.

Review: There are 28 stories of love, memories, answered prayers and wishes, and all the peace, love and togetherness, that Christmas brings in this little book! If you are looking for a small book to add to a teacher's/ sister's/ aunt's/ friend's gift basket, this would be the book I would suggest! There is sure to be a couple of stories that strike the reader and bring back their own memories! The 27 writers bring many different voices to a shared theme of Christmas. Samples tales include:

• Christmas Treasure- a woman rediscovers a lost holiday treasure in a peculiar place (how many times has that happened to you when opening the Christmas boxes?!)
• Final Christmas- an untimely loss sheds light on an answered prayer
• Canine Christmas- a dog's last Christmas trip home shows a woman the true meaning of the season
• and my fav- Christmas Love- which captures the insane chaos and commercialization of the season, but has an ending that will showcase the true magic of Christmas!

This is a lovely little book and I highly recommend it!
