Jacket Flap: When I wrote The Christmas Box, I never intended to publish the story -- it was simply an expression of love for my 2 young daughters, Jenna and Allyson. Though I often told them that I loved them, I didn't believe that they could ever really understand the depth of those feelings until they had experienced the joy of rearing their own children, and by that time our relationship would have already changed. Forever. In writing The Christmas Box, I hoped that at some future time they could read this book and know of their father's love.

As I began to write, I was amazed at the inspiration which flowed into my mind and heart. I completed the book in less than 6 weeks and, when I had finished, I produced 20 copies of The Christmas Box to give as Christmas presents to my family and a few close friends. In the next 4 weeks those 20 copies were shared from family to family, and friend to friend. Now I share the message of this book with you in hope that we can all remember what in most precious to us, and that you, too, may experience the magic of The Christmas Box and pass it on. -- With love and Christmas, Richard Paul Evans

Back Cover: "Whatever the reason, I find that with each passing Christmas the story of the Christmas Box is told less and needed more. So I record it now for all future generations to accept or dismiss as seems them good. As for me, I believe. And it is, after all, my story." So begins The Christmas Box, the touching story of a widow and the young family who moves in with her. Together they discover the first gift of Christmas and learn what Christmas is really all about. The Christmas Box is a Christmas story unlike any other. Merry Christmas

I finished reading this today. I guess I wasn't quite in the mood for a book about death, with a family member's passing this week. Maybe if I had read it at another time, I would have rated it higher.
