"The Christmas Countdown reminds us that Christmas is more than a shopping list.This book isn't simply another list of things-to-do this December but rather it is a plea to stop 'doing' and begin 'being' once more. Twenty-five new traditions remind usthat family is a gift which reflects the great Gift of God incarnate, restoring us to the beauty of Christmas." Joel Kurz, Pastor, The Garden Community,Baltimore
