A Libri GmbH A Christmas to Remember Paperback

Christmas has a way of staying with us.Long after the presents have been opened, the decorations have been packed away, and the last Christmas carol has faded, certain memories remain. The glow of lights on a Christmas tree. Tinsel carefully-or not so carefully-placed on the branches. Children bundled against the cold as they sing carols through the neighborhood. The warmth of family gathered together. A quiet Christmas Eve service. The anticipation of Christmas morning. And the people whose presence made those moments unforgettable.In A Christmas to Remember, Kelly E. Green takes readers on a heartfelt journey through the Christmases that helped shape his life. With warmth, humor, honesty, and faith, he remembers the simple traditions of childhood, the excitement that seemed to make December move impossibly slowly, the family gatherings that filled a home with laughter, and the moments that became more meaningful with the passing of time.But Christmas changes as we grow older.The houses may be different. The traditions may change. Children grow up. Families expand. Some familiar faces are no longer seated around the table, and the memories of Christmases past become increasingly precious. Yet even as the years pass, something remains. Love remains. Family remains. Faith remains. And the story at the heart of Christmas remains.Through personal stories and tender reflections, A Christmas to Remember invites readers to remember their own Christmases-the sights, sounds, people, traditions, laughter, and moments that have become part of who they are. It is a celebration of the ordinary things that often become extraordinary memories simply because they were shared with people we loved.Above all, this is a reminder that Christmas has never ultimately been about the presents, decorations, lights, trees, pageantry, or even the traditions we hold dear. At the center of Christmas is a far greater story: a baby born to a virgin, laid in a manger, who came into the world to become its Savior.Whether your favorite Christmas memories happened decades ago or are being created around you today, A Christmas to Remember will encourage you to cherish them, share them, and recognize the gift found in every season of life.Because some Christmases eventually become more than memories.They become part of our story.And every once in a while, we are blessed with a Christmas we will never forget-a Christmas to remember.
