Reader Reviews
I have a new holiday tradition that has added meaning to my Christmas. Since its publication, I have read and reread Christmas Remembered by Ben Logan each Christmas season. Mr. Logan's memories of Christmas have brought me wisdom and changed the way in which I look at Christmas and life. Logan writes: "I know there is something in Christmas, fragile as the laughter of children, that wakens the sleeping goodness in us, making it easier to feel, show, and say "I love you." His recounting of Christmas as a youth growing up on a farm in Wisconsin brings a simple, poignant meaning to what Christmas is all about. Another recollection of Christmas in Italy during World War II brings the stark reality of life to view, but in a way that joins one culture to another. The telling of stories is a tradition Logan feels is very important in family and culture alike. He writes that it is his hope as a writer that you, the reader, bring yourself to his stories and make them a part of your own story. His hopes are fulfilled as no one can read this moving Christmas book without being changed in a very special way.
