Chicken Soup for the Soul - Christmas Magic {Review} and Giveaway!

  Chicken Soup for the Soul books are just wonderful.  They are a wonderful collection of inspirational stories that lift you up.  The wonderful thing about this series is that you have time to read the book ... you can take a minute to read one story or sit down with a cup of liquid gold (coffee) and soak it all up.

Chicken Soup for the Soul Christmas Magic is a beautiful collection of stories.


From the publisher:
Mike Morin thought he had found the perfect gift for his fiancée, who is a nurse. Unfortunately, he didn’t know what “nursing pajamas” really were. 

Ernie Witham’s family tried to find out whose name he chose in their Secret Santa drawing, but he cleverly fooled them all with false clues and bought a very nice golf club for the lucky recipient – himself! 

Barbara Nicks fell through the attic ceiling over her garage while trying to hide a bicycle for her son, injuring herself, the ceiling, the car below, and her pride.
Sometimes the Christmas memories we end up treasuring the most have nothing to do with buying gifts or enjoying holiday luxuries. Christmas is a magical time of year -- a time of family, friends, and traditions -- and a time for great stories, whether they are funny or heartwarming. 


If you are interested in purchasing this book, it retails for $14.95.  If you want a chance to win this book then simply enter below.

I read Chicken Soup for the Soul because it's just really uplifting and the short stories make it easy to read even if I don't have enough leisure time!

It would just add to my couple of books that I already have and my Christmas collection books but I love some of the stories and quotes that are in the Chicken Soup for the Soul books.
