Question #4

Have you ever been the recipient of something akin to a Christmas Jar? If so and it isn't too personal, please share! If it is something you want to keep to yourself, that's okay too!

Question #3

What do you think about the way Hope initially got in the door to the Maxwell house??

Question #2

Now that you have gotten into the book a little bit, you have probably realized that the Christmas Jar is a tradition for people in the book.
I am sure some of this we will all already be familiar with from hanging out with each other...but, share some of your favorite traditions. They don't have to be Christmas traditions - they can be anything! What have you done that you love and has worked for your family or for yourself?

Question #1

What did you think of Louise's decision at the beginning - first chapter. What would you have done??

Christmas Jars - Let's Begin

I guess it wasn't a suprise to anyone that I would start my choices for the book club with a LOVED Christmas book. I love this story so much. I hope that you all enjoy the read. It is one that almost begs you to start a tradition of your own. I think you will find that it is a quick read for two reasons:
1 - it is short and the writing style is not one of those "stop and think as you read" styles
2 - it is such a sweet story and makes you want to keep reading
Enjoy it!! I will try to have periodic questions up for you to comment on. Please try to add your comments. That is one thing that I really loved about the first book - everyone's thoughts and opinions about what we were reading. It made me wish we were all sitting in mom and dad's house talking about the book.
Anyway, happy reading!!
