Book Description:

​During the day, the Miller family’s Christmas tree stands tall in their living room, sparkling with lights and ornaments. Little does the family know that their Christmas tree is anything but ordinary. Each evening, the magic of Christmas brings their tree to life—much to the delight of Hannah and William Miller. Follow along as Hannah and William experience the magic of Christmas in a whole new way.

My Thoughts:

The Living Christmas Tree was a story that was both magical and delightful and brought me back to my childhood. The story is about the ornaments and how after being packed away all year long, on the nights leading up to Christmas and even beyond till they are packed away again, they come to life. They come to life at night only and have all sorts of fun and catching up to do. Till one night one of the children gets a glimpse of something truly magical. Will this be the end of their fun, or will they have new friends to celebrate with?

Christmas has always been my favorite holiday and as a mother I try to make Christmas as special for my kids as possible. This story brought back my own memories of sweet Christmas's when I was a child. I always loved playing with special ornaments and if I thought that they could come to life, well even better.

The illustrations are bright and beautiful. They showcase a happy home and family and just the sweet and simple joy Christmas brings. This is a story that could fuel a child's imagination.

I was provided a copy of this book from the publisher. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
