The Christmas Mystery by Jostein Gaarder
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

For 2019--read this again with Chris. So delightful! Some things you forget between readings. Such a great way to tell the Christmas Story--and the story in the story of Joachim's family in Norway, as well as the story of Elisabet the refugee. We've read this now in the Kindle edition for a few years, but also own the beautiful hardback version the book, which we used to read with our children.
For 2016--Chris read this aloud while we were living in Squantum with Mom & Dad, who also listened. Enjoyed it again very much!
A regular Christmas favorite--and I gave it 4-1/2 stars. I've read this (or with the wife & or family) probably 5 times now--and found it just as good and encouraging and uplifting this time, as well as creative. What a great addition to the days of Advent preparation.
