The Paper Bag Christmas by Kevin Alan Milne
Thursday, November 13th, 2008
If you are ready to be in the Christmas Spirit, this is the book for you. Milne paints a wonderful picture of brothers ages 9 and 11. As is typical of my boys the same ages, Christmas is not what it used to be. When believing in Santa and all of the Christmas magic that goes along with him disappears what's left is less than to be desired.
Insert parents that have the best of hearts and have wonderful connections and all of the magic returns. Molar and his brother Aaron find out that all children don't have a happy normal life like they themselves do. With the help from a local doctor they befriend several pediatric patients and help spread Christmas cheer. While trying to help other's they finally get the Christmas present they "never wished for." The true magic of Christmas is revealed along with tears in everyones eyes, including my own. When you think that the magic has settled there is only more to be revealed. This book truly warms your heart and helps you remember what Christmas is all about. This would make a wonderful gift to any reader on your list this year, just add a box of tissues and a sitter for the kids for a few hours and they will be more than happy to read through the magic.
