The warm, wonderful, real-life tale of the family that brings the Christmas spirit to life on a street corner in Manhattan.

They arrive from Vermont the day after Thanksgiving and leave just in time to make it home for Christmas morningand for a few weeks they transform a corner of the Big Apple into a Frank Capra-esque small town alive with heartwarming holiday spirit. Christmas on Jane Street is about the transformative power of lovelove of parent and child, of merchant and customer, of stranger and neighbor. The ideal Christmas story, it is about the lasting and profound difference that one person can make to a family and one family can make to a community. A lovely, lovingly illustrated little gem of a book, this delightful tenth anniversary edition of a beloved Christmas classic tells the poignant, inspiring story of an unforgettable family and the warm, wide circle of friends who have welcomed them to the neighborhood.

My rating for Christmas books is a little different. The main thing to me is did I feel the Christmas spirit? This sweet story brought tears, happy ones, to my eyes, a rare reading occurrence so 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 from me. I‘ll never pass Jane Street again without thinking of the Romp family and all the lovely Jane Street neighbors.

I don‘t know about everyone else but I‘m about ready to skip over the uncertainty and stress of Covid fall and get to December for a month of #holidaytales. These are the ones I‘m looking most forward to. Is anybody else planning their holiday reading yet? 🎄 🕎 😂

Clwojick Oh definitely! I have two stacks of Christmas paperbacks, and a whole section of holiday reads on my kindle. ♥️🎅🏻 4y
Laughterhp Haha I definitely hope I‘m in the mood this year to read holiday books! (I wasn‘t last year). But I do love me some scary/witchy books so I can‘t skip over those fall books yet! 4y
