Description

CHRISTMAS GIFTS brings together three previously published and long out-of- print novellas, each on the theme of Christmas gifts that will last forever because the gift, in essence, is love. In "The Best Christmas Ever" a boisterous house party is in progress and all the children when asked are eager to tell what they want for Christmas. But one man feels sad, for his young child has not spoken since her mother died and he does not know if the gifts he has bought her will be what she really wants. Unknown to him, her one fervent wish is for a new mother for Christmas, and when she sees one of the guests she knows who that will be. But the lady concerned has an unhappy history with the child's father. In "The Porcelain Madonna" a gentleman becomes involved with helping an impoverished lady, who thinks of everyone's happiness but her own. However, he has seen her gaze with longing at a porcelain madonna well beyond her means displayed in a shop window. In "The Surprise Party" a man and woman who are antagonistic to each other find themselves landed with the care over Christmas of children who are related to each of them. They quarrel over which of them should undertake the task. It is not a happy situation until the children teach them the true meaning of Christmas, and of love, and they discover that they can do it together. Read more

    • What you wish for these holidays.
Beautiful stories, plenty of room for love, exchange gifts, recover lost years of misunderstanding sentiments, good feelings and romance around a baby born more than two millennia ago that changed the history of our lives.

    • A delightful Christmas gift from Mary Balogh
Mary Balogh has sent us all an early Christmas gift this year, with this anthology of three classic novellas. (She has also published a similar anthology, <b>Christmas Miracles</b>.) Actually, as she enters her thirtieth year of writing historical romance, I tend to think that Mary Balogh's mere presence in the world is a sort of gift. I have read about two-thirds of her books and have yet to encounter a stinker. It's very exciting for those of us who prefer ebooks that she has been digitizing many of her out-of-print books. The three novellas in this collection date back to the 1990s and have long been out-of-print. They are unashamedly sentimental and full of snow, children, sleigh rides, presents, and love. As Ms Balogh recently wrote on her blog: <blockquote>We expect good things of the Christmas season. We expect peace and goodwill and the warmth and closeness of family celebrating together. We expect love and joy. We expect, in fact, all the elements we look for in a good romance. What better marriage can there be than that between Christmas and romance?</blockquote> In this blog posting, Ms Balogh also delivered a lesson that other authors of Christmas stories should take to heart: <blockquote>Perhaps the best thing I learned from the writing of those novellas was that the stories could be far more effective if Christmas was an essential element and the story happened as it did because it was Christmas and not just because by pure chance it occurred late in December.</blockquote> This lesson, I think, is what makes Balogh's plethora of Christmas novellas so successful. Even readers with Scroogish tendencies (that would be me) can find themselves experiencing the joy of the season. I haven't said anything about the plots, as the book blurb above does a fine job of previewing each story. My favorite has to be “The Best Christmas Ever,” where a motherless girl picks as her new mother a lady completely unsuitable for her father. And then there's “The Surprise Party,” where the needs of three orphaned children help two people overcome the bitterness they have have felt toward one another for years. But then, I also liked “The Porcelain Madonna,” in which the Earl of Bah Humbug learns about the Christmas spirit from a penniless young woman. Oh, never mind, I can't really pick a favorite. All three are sweet, sentimental, utterly delightful, and guaranteed to deliver the best that Christmas has to offer. <b>Christmas Gifts</b> and <b>Christmas Miracles</b> are specially priced at US$ 1.99 during the month of December. So why not click on the link above and give yourself a gift. Read reviews of other seasonal titles at (...) ... show more

    • Lovely Short Stories
Mary Balogh writes lovely short Christmas stories and these collections (both Christmas Gifts and Christmas Miracles) are no exception. These are not "heavy" reads nor should they be. They are sweet, uplifting, poignant and kind. Balogh more than most writers is able to craft a complete characterization of the principals in each story, despite their brevity, so you really do know them and what makes them tick. Children play a prominent role in the stories as Balogh obviously believes Christmas really is about children - and redeeming adults. All the stories of course end happily though Balogh is always careful to ensure her couples know there is no such thing as HEA (in these or any of her stories.) If you are looking for something sweet to read while (really or figuratively) wrapped up in an old sweater, with some warm wool socks in front of a fire and a warm spiced cider next to you, these are your books ... show more

    • All three of the stories in this book were just wonderful! All three had children in them and I ...
I wanted to wait until closer to Christmas before I read this book, but once I had it in my possession - - - well I have no will power when it comes to a Balogh book. All three of the stories in this book were just wonderful! All three had children in them and I am such a sucker for love stories with children. My only complaint is that novellas are too short. I want the story to last longer. CHRISTMAS GIFTS has put me in a such a Christmasy mood that I think I will have to go buy some Christmas gifts of my own. I am going to try to hold out a little longer before I buy CHRISTMAS MIRACLES. ... show more

    • Touching Stories for the Holiday Season!
What a wonderfully touching book of three novellas! Perfect reading for the Christmas season. All three stories were fully developed, with engaging characters and a happy ending. Each brought a tear to my eyes. The Madonna was my favorite, containing not one, but several happy endings - I will probably read it every Christmas for years to come. Do yourself a favor and enjoy these stories this holiday season! ... show more

    • 1 Okay Story, 2 Wonderful Stories
The Best Christmas Ever: What a wonderful story of a mute little girl choosing a new mommy for Christmas. Of course, she choose the one woman with a star crossed history with her father. I am a sucker for young lovers finally finding happiness. Of course, all the Christmas cheer at the county seat of an aristocratic only adds to the sentimentality. 5 stars The Porcelain Madonna: A cynic meets a granddaughter of a baronet who has fallen on hard times. I can fall for the heroine in this story. Quite a lovely compassionate lady but has a spine of steel from her travails. 5 stars The Surprise Party: I found this to be the weakest story. 2 stars. ... show more
