juliegirl Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Also, I loved the Polar Express. I had never heard of it until last year. My kids and I read it before the movie came out. I just loved that story. I enjoyed the book more than the movie, and I did like the movie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Pam Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Since I'm Jewish with Pagan leanings, and we celebrate a secular Chr-stmas to honor my FIL's holiday, my favorite story for that time of year is one I found online called The Yule Fairies. If anyone is interested in it, it's short enough for me to post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob9874 Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 I'm reading "A Christmas Story" right now. I have "In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash", but it doesn't contain all the stories that make up the movie. They put them all together in this book, that reads like a collection of short stories. Most weren't Christmas related, outside of the movie (i.e., the leg lamp story). I love Jean Shepard, despite only knowing him from the movie the the books mentioned above. I love his use of vocabulary, and his ability to create vivid imagery. And I relate to his passion for Christmas. Here's an example, "Christmas was on its way. Each day was more exciting than the last, because Christmas was one day closer. Lovely, beautiful, glorious Christmas, around which the entire year revolved."
