In the book Christ mas Spirit by Sarah M. Eden it tells about a girl who got three coins from her great-great-grandfather. The coins where made of really old silver and so they were worth a lot of money. They where very special to her. Then one day she moved to another city and a when she opened all of her boxes she couldn't find her coins. She was super sad about this event. Then she found this box filled with papers and at the very bottom of the box was her beloved coins.

I think that the theme of the book Christmas Spirit is to have faith. Because she had to have faith to think that she would eventually find her beloved coins. And she also refers to have faith in things.

I liked the book because the pages where smaller that a lot of other books. And how I could relate to the story about the coins. And that the chapters were smaller then some other books. And last is that it had a great story that made me feel worm inside and happy.

This collection of twelve Christmas stories ranges from funny to touching, as the authors share stories about topics such as learning to receive, learning to look beyond the tangled Christmas lights and other obstacles to see the true meaning and spirit of Christmas, and other such topics. This short little collection can be read all in one sitting, or stretched out to enjoy one story per day, but either way, most readers should find a story here that touches their hearts with the Christmas spirit as well.

Great little true stories by different authors of a Christmas that they have had.

[Estella · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is an excellent little book, and a very quick read. If you want an extra measure of the true Christmas spirit (with a few chuckles added in), pick it up and read it post haste.

12 stories of Christmas, written by familiar authors in the LDS scene. They were nice, but none so outstanding that they became one of our favorites.

I loved this little book. It gave me hope. The economy may be bad, but no one is dying of cancer on the eve of my wedding. It gave me a lot to be thankful for.

[Daisy Dandelion · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute real life stories

[Maria Thomas · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a very quick read full of short personal Christmas stories either experienced by the authors or told with permission from the person who experienced it. Each of the stories are sweet and touching with a spiritual message. Despite it being February, I really needed to hear these stories today since it hasn't been the best of days. I found them uplifting. Some made me laugh and some made me get teary. I appreciated them all.

[Billy Bateman · Rating 5 out of 5]

I enjoyed all these stories

I recognized the authors as writers I was familiar with. I enjoyed their excellent writing and
enjoyed their individual stories. I was pleased with taking a break from reading fictional stories. The Spirit of Christmas was present in this collection of stories.
