[Pam · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a great collection of stories and poems pertaining to Christmas and Kentucky. But you don't have to be from Kentucky or live in Kentucky to enjoy the trip down memory lane that some of these tales afford. I felt like I stepped back into my Ohio childhood in many instances and it was very nice to visit there.
