Summary:
"When I began assembling [this] collection, I was skeptical that I
would learn anything new about Christmas, but reading and reflecting
on the history and spirit of Christmas brought back many memories,
and taught me a great deal #133; The literature of Christmas ranges
from the miraculous to the tragic, the profound to the ridiculous,
but always represents the connection to something larger than
ourselves." -Caroline KennedyIn A Family Christmas, Caroline shares
the Christmas poetry, prose, scriptural readings, and lyrics that are
most dear to her, drawing on authors as diverse as Harper Lee, Nikki
Giovanni, Martin Luther King Jr., Billy Collins, John and Yoko, and
Charles Dickens. There are also many lesser-known gems throughout and
personal treasures from her own family -- including a young
Caroline's Christmas list to Santa Claus and a letter from her father
as President to a child concerned about Santa's well-being. This
diverse and unique anthology will become a timeless keepsake, and
