Stan opened the ugly ornaments box and pulled out the top three ornaments, the ones wrapped in green paper, the kids' favorites, and set them on the coffee table. He picked up the first one, the biggest one--Anna's blue pinecone--and began to unwrap it. Without thinking, Judith walked up, stopped him, and gently took it out of his hand. She wrapped it back up, set it carefully in the box. Then picked up the other two ornaments, put them in the box, and closed the flaps."What's the matter?" Stan said. "Did I do something wrong?"
"I don't think I can do this."
Nothing is more beautiful than family
For the first time since their children were born, empty nesters Judith and Stan Winters spent Thanksgiving without the kids, and it's looking like Christmas will be the same. Judith can't bring herself to even start decorating for the holiday; her kids always hung the first ornaments on the tree, ornaments they had made each year since they were toddlers. Sure, the ornaments were strange-looking--some were downright ugly--but they were tradition.
With Judith refusing to decorate the bare spruce tree in their living room, Stan's only hope for saving the holiday is found in a box of handmade ornaments . . .

My review;
"Keeping Christmas" by author Dan Walsh is another great book by him. I have read some of his other books and they were all wonderful. This is the story of a family, that is full of love for each other. But, it is more than that. It is a husband, father, who understands what he needs to do to make his family have a wonderful Christmas. I cried while I was reading this story and I wish, as I am sure other readers were, a part of this love. Dan Walsh is a fantastic author who knows how make a Christmas fantastic. I give this book a 5/5. I was given this book by Revell Publishing Company and all opinions are mine.
