Reviews for 25 Days, 26 Ways to Make This Your Best Christmas Ever
5 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is meant to help reduce the stress that Christmas can bring, but really, it’s good advice for any time stress threatens to overpower you. For example, it can help you feel better when you are dealing with being isolated at home because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Though intended for reading a chapter a day in Advent, it’s too good to just not continue on once you’ve started. I liked several aspects of the book, but the one I liked best was the author’s many references to Christmas carols and songs. He emphasizes the importance of the lyrics, the history of the songs, and how even current secular songs had, at one time, religious connotations. He gives examples of things you can do to connect to others, to alleviate feelings of loneliness, to make and preserve familial ties, to come to appreciate things that you formerly disliked, and more. This is a book that each time you read it, and you will want to read it again and again, you will come away feeling a bit better and ready to face new challenges.
