My December Book Club recommendation is “Christmas Jars” by Jason F. Wright.

This book was given to me as a git when it was first published. It had joined many of my other favorite Christmas books but this year I was reminding of the sweet and simple story about service and sacrifice.

“Christmas Jars shares the story of Hope Jensen, an aspiring journalist who uncovers the remarkable secret behind a holiday phenomenon: money-filled glass jars anonymously given to people in need. Hope desperately wants to post the story, but doing so would be a breach of trust to the family who entrusted her with the secret. What she decides to do will change her life forever. A heartwarming story that will restore your faith in humanity and make you want to start your own Christmas Jar tradition.”

I know that we have been so thankful for being the recipients of such generous gifts, thoughts, prayers and services since the divorce. This year my boys and I decided to give back in our own special way.

What Christmas traditions do you have that help others feel loved?
