Perfect for reading by the fire with loved ones, or while traveling home for the holidays. Enjoy the season of peace and goodwill, mystery, and a little bit of magic courtesy of one of our most fearless and accomplished writers.

讀到《十二個聖誕故事》之時,聖誕剛剛過去不久,節日的氣氛在逐漸地減弱,傢裏的聖誕裝飾球也已經被我拆下,散落一旁。無妨,誰說聖誕的故事一定要在聖誕節期間纔能聽呢,溫特森講給我們的故事,總是有著奇妙的力量,它們就像是寫給成人的童話,每一個故事中都住著一個屬於自...

評分雖然讀瞭兩個故事覺得不是我的那杯茶後麵的故事沒有讀,但特彆喜歡讀故事之後jeanette寫的聖誕文章和食譜,覺得時間都慢瞭下來。節日氛圍並不在燈火輝煌裝飾滿聖誕彩燈和飾品的商場裏,而是在這本書裏,在jeanette的文字裏。聖誕就應該是給予的節日,新年就應該是反思的節日,而不是買買買!靜下來慢一點,在給自己一次機會……
