Christian Review of Books

Celebrate Simply is a fabulous resource that any shopper and planner should flip through before hitting the malls or the drawing board. I'm going to be going back to this book a lot throughout the year for advice and ideas; it's already helped me focus on what the upcoming holidays are really about. It'll not only help you fine-tune your gift giving, it would also make a great gift itself for that chronic holiday-overloader who starts each new year with too much stress from the preceding two months. Thank you, Nancy! Let's hope we can all learn from your experience!
