The Christmas Lodge

Can you believe Christmas is in two days?!  That’s just crazy! This year has absolutely flown by.  Today’s story is great for passing the hours on Christmas Eve, looking at those presents under the tree. 😉

At the Christmas Lodge

Rebekah A. Morris

 

When Desirae Richey agrees to go home with some college friends for Christmas, she expects a small family gathering. Instead she is taken to the Christmas Lodge in the snowy mountains of Canada to a noisy, fun loving, adventurous group of family and friends who welcome her as one of their own. Everything seems to be going as planned until an unexpected snowfall occurs.

I found this story very sweet and cozy! Perfect for an afternoon read, as it’s very short.  The character’s relationships were sweet and I loved the snow sculpture contest!  All that to say, it is a favorite. 🙂 ❤

A Christmas Carol

Oops, I forgot to do this last Friday… Sorry about that!

Can you believe it’s only 11 days until Christmas?! It’s crazy!  For today, I am reviewing one of my favorite Christmas books.

Charles Dickens

On the night of Christmas Eve, Ebenezer Scrooge is visited by three Christmas spirits. The Ghost of Christmas Past confronts Scrooge with his youth, the Ghost of Christmas Present reveals the Cratchits’ struggle amid poverty, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come harrows Scrooge with dire visions of the future if he does not learn to treat his fellow man with kindness, generosity and compassion.

 

 

 

 

What Christmas book is more well known or loved than A Christmas Carol?  Ebenezer Scrooge, despite his grouchy nature and his “Bah! Humbug!” is an endearing character that you come to love by the end of the book.

Strong language – To be honest, I don’t remember, which means it was fine. 😉 1

(I would suggest this book for ages 10 and up because of the Ghost of Christmas Past.  I got super creeped out by him when I was young.)

Book Review & December

Wow, can you believe that tomorrow is the first day of December?!  That feels like it’s almost Christmas already!  In honor of December, I’m doing a Christmas book review. 🙂

 

The Father Christmas Confessions

By Emily Ann Benedict

 

What if Santa Claus isn’t one man? What if he is a secret organization?

Jeremy Ogden has 25 days to accomplish his mission and a list of people whose lives can be changed forever if he makes it to them in time. He just has one big problem…And her name is Virginia.

Virginia Kipyard is the last girl Jeremy wants holding his family’s ancient secret, no matter how many times his mother suggests she’s “the right girl.” But if he wants to save the life of the next man on his list, he might just need her help.

The “season of miracles” is about to take on a whole new meaning, even for Father Christmas.

 

Strong language – I’m not sure how to rate this as I saw another blogger say that this book had a British swear word, but I didn’t run into any.

Romance – 3

Graphic Details – 0 to 2

Magic – 0

*SPOILER* About the “magic” rating, there is something that is called a “gift” that is somewhat like magic, but referred to as a “gift” or a “miracle”

I love, love, love the concept of this book!  The Santa Claus idea is so cool, but I wasn’t sure I liked how the author made it happen.  The “Gift” weirded me out a bit, but it wasn’t exactly bad.

Anyhow, I would say this book would be for ages 12 and up, with adult supervision any younger.

The Father Christmas Confessions is on Amazon HERE.

See you next week!
