What types of books do you like to read when you are super busy?  Chicken Soup for the Soul:  The Spirit of Christmas was perfect for a busy time.  The stories are all short, seasonal, and uplifting.

Chicken Soup for the Soul:  The Spirit of Christmas is a collection of 101 true stories that are set anywhere from Thanksgiving to New Year’s, with most being set at Christmas.  My thoughts on this collection:

·       This was great on audiobook.  I listened to this collection to start off my day for the last couple of weeks and it started off my day with a very bright spot.

·       Purchase of this book supports Toys for Tots which is a very worthy organization.

·       I liked that some stories gave me a good laugh while others brought a tear to my eye and really made me think about the true meaning of Christmas.

·       This was a cozy read.

·       There were a lot of stories related to Christian faith throughout, but mixed faith families such as a blended Hanukkah/Christmas celebration were also discussed.

·       I haven’t read a Chicken Soup for the soul book for quite a while and Imthink I need to listen to more of these on audiobook moving forward.

Overall, Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Spirit of Christmas: 101 Joyful Holiday Stories by Amy Newmark was a great cozy read and audiobook that really brought me into the spirit of the season.
