Synopsis
In a beautifully rendered portrait, Jimmy Carter remembers the Christmas days of his Plains boyhood -- the simplicity of family and community gift-giving, his father's eggnog, the children's house decorations, the school Nativity pageant, the fireworks, Luke's story of the birth of Christ, and the poignancy of his black neighbors' poverty.Later, away at Annapolis, he always went home to Plains, and during his Navy years, when he and Rosalynn were raising their young family, they spent their Christmases together re-creating for their children the holiday festivities of their youth.Since the Carters returned home to Plains for good, they have always been there on Christmas Day, with only one exception in forty-eight years: In 1980, with Americans held hostage in Iran, Jimmy, Rosalynn, and Amy went by themselves to Camp David, where they felt lonely. Amy suggested that they invite the White House staff and their families to join them and to celebrate. Nowadays the Carters' large family is still together at Christmastime, offering each other the gifts and the lifelong rituals that mark this day for them.With the novelist's eye that enchanted readers of his memoir An Hour Before Daylight, Jimmy Carter has written another American classic, in the tradition of Truman Capote's A Christmas Memory and Dylan Thomas's A Child's Christmas in Wales.

- w***w (2768)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis is an outstanding seller to deal with. Fair prices that are more than reasonable in this economy, a true value for my money. Packaging and shipping shows concern for the products to arrive in good condition. The seller communicates timely with his customers. I recommend this seller and would do business again. Thank you.Footprints Live (#394511457331)
- j***g (482)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI received 4 books at a greatly reduced price (buy 2, get two free offer), with free 2 day shipping. The entire set, in decent condition and well-packed, arrived exactly 2 days after purchase. Well done. This is one of the best bargain books sellers ANYWHERE, in my opinion. Highly recommended seller! A+++
- -***0 (105)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseReally love this album it came in near perfect condition. I wish I would have read the description better though. I could have bought a cheaper one. I bought this only because I thought I was getting the green hype sticker on it, as seen in the picture. That is an important detail for people who collect music. Its my own fault for assuming, I should have read the whole description. It's super clean, came packaged very well, fast shipping. Can't really complain. I got exactly what I paid for. 👍
