Dear Kaitlyn

Did your family put crosses made of raisins on cakes of butter and cream cheese and place them on the Easter and Christmas tables? Making them was always a favorite way for children to help prepare the feasts. It was a custom a child could understand reminding us for the reason for the celebrations.

Always With Love,

Lissi

HI Lissi,

WE use to keep the eastern European tradition. January 6th we called little
Christmas. My family back then were very much Polish
.

I'm sure someone has already jumped on the chance to take these books, but I

can't wait to read them. T. Davis Bunn co-wrote several books with Janette
Oke. I like reading Christmas books almost any time of year, really. <smile>


Really, I don't read many of them outside of the holiday season, but if
something interests me, the time of year doesn't stop me from reading it.
<smile> Take care.

Dear Jana and Christmas Book Readers,

Jana, I don't have information on the Christmas books you asked about, but
since the titles sounded familiar, I checked among my Christmas books for
them.

I did find a matching pair of books which might interest someone who is
still enthusiastic about scanning Christmas books. Since I don't think the
season is over the minute the gifts are unwrapped, I still enjoy reading
Christmas books and helping to add more to our collection until Ukrainian
Christmas which is in early January. My father was Ukrainian.

The books I have are two, new hardcover copies of, Tidings of Comfort and
Joy by Davis Bunn who co-authored Homecoming and a book with quilt in the
title which are in the collection. This book wasn't listed. Because I have
two copies, I have the perfect set up to mail a scanner one of them and then
validate using that second one when the scanner tells me the scan is ready
for validating. The book has 234 pages and is a small square shape in
perfect condition, including the dust cover. . You'd be free to keep it or
pass it on when you're finished. A few pages have unevenly shaped
illustrations, but, since I have a copy of the book, I could unravel any
scanner confusion.


Please contact me off list if you are interested in this project. I'm going
to the post office tomorrow so you would have the book, soon.


Always With Love,

Lissi

Wow!  Thanks for this link, Mike.  I just went and filled up my virtual
Christmas stocking! <LOL>  Just out of curiosity, has anyone scanned
either "The Christmas Blessing" or "The Christmas Hope?"  They continue
the story that began with "The Christmas Shoes."  I heard an interview
with the author on Sunday morning, and she said that both of the movies
for "The Christmas Shoes" and "The Christmas Blessing" are very different
from the books.  "The Christmas Hope" was just released this year.  I
didn't know about that one until I heard the interview.  Happy reading!

Jana

As of about 10 minutes ago:

a minimum of 118 books have been identified and listed as Christmas
oriented on Jake Brownell's unoffical BookShare info site at

www.jbrownell.com.

A direct link to this listing is

Christmas Books on BookShare
http://www.jbrownell.com/bks/category.asp?id=20



This listing includes the 5 Christmas titles Gustavo aproved this
morning.
They appear at the bottom of the list at the above link and are:




'Tis the Season by Kathryn Quick A Crime for Christmas (A Nancy Drew & Hardy Boys SuperMystery #2) by Carolyn Keene The Christmas Baby's Gift by Kate Walker Cinderella Christmas (American Romance) by Shelley Galloway There's Something About Christmas by Debbie Macomber

If you are logged onto BookShare at the time you click onto the link for
that book on Jake's page, you can download that particular book.

There are likely other Christmas books on BookShare that are not part of
this list.
If you are aware of any, either add them yourself or let Jake, myself,
Grace or anyone else who routinely updates of that info so it can be
included.

So there is plenty of Christmas material on Bookshare. And if that's not
enough, Web-Braille, part of the NLS program, has more.
