December Birthstone Charm - Hangs on Mother's Loving Embrace Pendant
$2.25
I am basically happy with my charm. The only thing I'm worried about is the ring that holds the stone
and the loop that holds the jump ring. I'm wearing it as a charm on a bracelet and they are both a little frail.
I would order again however that is my only complaint.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping, cooking, visiting, family gatherings, one seeks a few moments of quiet, of stillness. Eve Bunting and illustrator David Diaz can provide those moments with "December."

Although designated for ages 4-8, this magnificent book is truly for all ages. Sit down with your little one or your spouse or you and a cup of tea for a few moments with "December," truly a story of the spirit of Christmas.

This is one of those books in which there has been a true collaboration of writer and artist. Each page is framed by symbolic representations of the theme of each page. On the cover is a picture of an angel. The frame contains feathers in the calming colors of blue and green, while the bright colors of the angel reflect her glory.

A mother and son, homeless, are spending Christmas Eve in a cardboard box with a board for a door. They have the top of a Christmas tree that a tree salesman was kind enough to give them. It is decorated with bits and pieces of the past. Taped to the wall is the picture of the angel, taken from a calendar, the December page. The have the overcoat of the husband/father whose absence is not explained.

A knock comes at their board/door. The mother cautiously answers. An ancient, bent, homeless woman asks for shelter. They share their space, the boy gives her one of their two Christmas cookies. The next morning the woman is gone. What the boy finds is a heart-stopping miracle.

That's just half of this quiet, but powerful story about giving and sharing. Learning the rest of the story is up to you.

December, Piano Solos: 20th Anniversary Edition
$8.99
I've been enjoying "December" since its original release - in fact, my original copy was a vinyl album. Simple yet effective, this is a great CD to listen to when it is dark and snowy. Winter is the best time of the year! A classic.
