A Very Sentimental Story ...
I love Christmas and I love the meaning of Christmas, but I will admit that I find it disturbing that the only time we're encouraged to practice charity is only for one season of the year ... when there are 364 days a year people need the love and help ... no matter their circumstances. Fortunately, Christmas Jars does have that idea floating behind the story.
Christmas Jars starts out with an abandoned baby taken in by a single woman who finds her. She raises the baby with love and hope ... and Hope celebrates her 26th birthday alone at her mom's favorite restaurant ... her mom had died the year before of cancer.

Woow - A book you won't want to put down
Christmas Jars is a book that as you read it you will not want to put it down. It a very good book that will make you look at your life in a "I have to do this in my life kinda way" book. Its a easy reading book, enjoy it. I did and when your done pass it on to one of your friends or family members.

Christmas Jars
A book should serve to inspire a person in some way: in how one thinks about a subject or even acts. This is a fictional story about a young woman's life journey through its twists and turns, trials and tribulations. It reveals to us the importance of family (however defined), of love, and of our own coming to terms with how we choose to live our lives. The truer meaning of Christmas is not in expensive gift giving but in the simpler gifts of sharing and caring symbolized by the simplicity of coins in a jar. It inspired me to begin my own Christmas Jars project and in doing so I felt the true JOY of the season.
So touching & such a beautiful, timely story
This quick read was such a touching story! I found myself tearing up & just had to share it with several reading buddies before the holidays. I think all of us will start our own jars to share next year with a deserving soul.
Book called "Christmas Jars."
Great book. I received it for Christmas last year and have given as a Christmas gift to several this year.
