The Christmas List 12/21/2010

A Very Merry Christmas to YOU!

What a night of good cheer! Thank you Cortney for hosting our December book club and cookie exchange. YUM!

In attendance:
Cortney, Joy, Lynn, Betsy(Lynn's Mom-in-law), Wendi, Jamie, Sarah, and Moana.

The Christmas ListOur discussion of The Christmas List by Richard Paul Evans was showered with wonderful reviews. Evans rarely disappoints. Which would explain why The Christmas List was the fourth of his books we've selected in less than three years.
The Sunflower February 2008
The Last Promise May 2008
Grace January 2010
The Christmas List December 2010
We humans...are seriously flawed. The things that are the most necessary, the most critical to us, are the things we take most for granted. Air. Water. Love.
If you have someone to love, you are lucky.
If they love you back, you're blessed.
And if you waste the time you have to love them, you're a fool.
-The Christmas List- p. 296
