A few good finds inside

Cheesy and ridiculously over the top Christmas "poems" but checked out from library and couldn't put down on a car ride.

This little book is an eclectic collection of all things Christmas. Some are penned by people you will recognize, others not, some are anonymous. But all have something to do with the goodness that is Christmas. Included are poems, hymns, prayers, and memories. We see Christmas through the eyes of the very young and the very old. Sure to put you in a Christmasy mood no matter when you read it, this is a book you will read and reference time and again.

Nice collection of Christmas poems and prayers. Will check this book out again in the future when looking for poems for Advent time.
