Publisher's Synopsis
For many today the richness and warmth of these two seasons are almost unknown or long-forgotten. In our secular age Christmas has been sadly reduced to the shopping frenzy culminating on Christmas Eve. For those searching for more, this collection of sayings drawn from biblical sources, the fathers of the Church, saints and inspiring Christians, leads us into a new perspective, helping us to receive and savour the graces of this precious time and to live it as we are surely meant to.
