Finding a Plain Christmas Reviews

  This is a very nice Christmas book that is full of the holiday spirit. Most of us want to spend time each year reflecting on the true meaning of Christmas. We tell ourselves we are not getting caught up in that holiday rush of gift shopping and decorating and all the things that keep us so busy over the holidays. Then we go ahead and get busy anyway and next thing we know , it's December 26th. Perhaps we all could take lessons from the Amish on how they manage to celebrate a plain Christmas minus the glitter and decorations, while reflecting on the True Meaning of Christmas.
  Kirsten Bergman is a writer for Heritage magazine. Her boss Richard Collins sends her out to an Amish community to find out how they celebrate Christmas. Her assignment is to write the Christmas feature article for the December issue. This is just the chance she has been waiting for all these years.
  Kirsten arrives in town and sets to work gathering research information, by asking questions from everyone she meets. She spends time with the Amish and even talks to a bishop. Trouble is it seems that she has little to write about as the Amish people don't seem to do all that much for the holidays. When trying to write her story she draws a complete blank. Will she let Richard down after he trusted her to write a great story that readers will long remember. Perhaps Kirsten will learn from the Amish examples, the True Meaning of Christmas.
  I found this story to be a pleasant read . I loved the colorful cover. The Story had a real Christmas feel to it. I'm glad I decided to add it to my holiday reading list. Readers of Amish and Christian Fiction will enjoy this book. I recommend it.

  I am a huge fan of Amos Wyse & Laura J Marshall!
  
  I’ve enjoyed reading their books since I picked up the first one — and now I have a new favorite!

  You’re gonna love this Christmas story…
  
  Kirsten Bergman reminded me of myself -- and how I love to make lists, and decorate for the holiday, and buy the perfect gifts for loved ones, and plan Christmas parties. When she's assigned a story by her editor, Richard Collins, about how the Amish celebrate Christmas, she heads to Amish country. What she finds is no help at all!!!
  
  No Christmas trees… no decorations… no parties… no Santa…
  
  What will she do? She has no idea how — or what — to write about the holiday.
  
  With Richard’s help, she learns how to enjoy Amish Country… and Christmas — in a different, better way. Oh my goodness! I loved this story!
  
  Happy Reading!
  ...and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

  Finding a Plain Christmas by Amos Wyse and Laura J Marshall
  Pull up a comfy chair and be ready to head back to Barnville with familiar characters, this is a wonderful short story that I’m sure you will love as much as I did. It will remind you about the true meaning of the holidays and what to really look forward to during the busy season that so many of us seam to rush through and forget to enjoy before it’s over and done. Thank you to Amos Wyse and Laura J Marshall for reminding me that to be plain stretches far beyond being Amish. If I could give a higher rating than five stars I would. Do yourself a favor a read this book, then when it comes out in paperback gift it to a friend at Christmas to remind others of the true meaning as well.
