As I’m sure you’ve noticed, I have a double header up today. 🙂

That’s because I’m doing two things at once! (Finally!) Okay, not really, but sort of. It’s the final day of the Christmas Duet Blog Tour and it’s the first day of 24 Books before Christmas. What better way to do it than with a book review of a new Christmas book?

O Come, All Ye Faithful by Faith Blum

My rating: 4 or 5 stars

This is a delightful book with some touching, humorous, and sweet stories.

O Come All Ye Faithful – tells the story of the Christmas truce of 1914 during the first World War. It was well written and very clean. A touching look at a bit of history.

Peace on Earth – Oh, Emmie and Elana! I had a bit of trouble telling these two apart, but perhaps I was reading it too quickly. Or perhaps it’s because they are twins. (My best friends are twins, and I had no trouble telling them apart, but I grew up with them.) Each was different, yet in ways they were so much alike. I appreciated the fact that the clear Gospel message was presented in this story. And the snow!

Silent Night – I had to chuckle over this story. It began so startling that I had to reread the first few paragraphs just to make sure I had read it right. I had. Along with the laughter, I felt a bit of sadness over Fay and was glad Jenna was willing to help her.

The Gift Goes On – This story was sweet even though not much happened except reminiscing and opening gifts, but the message was good, and you got know the characters a little just from their conversations.

O Christmas Tree – This might have been my favorite of these stories. I just loved Gareth and his enthusiasm over getting the family Christmas tree. Nothing could dampen his spirits. I was left with a strong desire to go decorate a Christmas tree myself.
