As a child, I remember my parents reading me the Christmas story from a
special book every year! While this Christmas book simply quoted the
Scripture, there was just something extra special about my mom pulling
out that book and reading it to us. I had been looking for a book like
that for years so I could carry on that tradition with my family.
However, I've turned up empty-handed until I ran across "Uncle Rick's
Holiday Book"!Uncle Rick's Holiday Book by Rick & Marilyn Boyer (Character Concepts) is a "coffee-table"-worthy book! It lays out the history and significance of ten different holidays as well as includes a section sharing holiday-themed ideas, recipes and additional resources. The pages are colorful and captivating especially for younger children. I'm sure my child will remember the photographs on these pages when he is an adult as much as I remember the pages from that special book that my mom read to me!
Uncle Rick removes all the holiday consumerism and shares the facts and intent surrounding each holiday while giving great honor to God and the Christian principles that our Nation was founded on.
We have this book on display in our home and I've enjoyed watching guests of all ages nonchalantly pick up this book and end up engrossed in one of the holiday stories! They usually light up with excitement because they learned something new or close the book with appreciation for the author as he preserves the truth of these holidays.
We can't wait to purchase more of these books to give away as gifts!
