Roderick J. Robison

The Christmas Tin (A Holiday Novel)
Like how this story starts out, in 2000 then goes back in time as a father explains to his daughter what is inside the Christmas tin and what it really means.
With such detailed descriptions of just a room I can picture myself there and feel such a big part of the story. We learn how the tin legend started.
Such beautiful caring stories of the things in the tin. Sad and happy moments as the years go on, not many books can bring tears to my eyes. This one show more does.
Treasure this and will keep it and read it often. So many stories in just one book. show less

Jesse's keepsake Christmas Tin provides just the right story for him to remind his daughter of the real meaning behind Christmas. Jesse relates how he met Ardella and her stories behind items in the tin.

Some of the plot twists were not very surprising. Jesse's choice to buy his mom a gift instead of buying himself skates, for example. But overall it is a good story with lots of heart.

Review:

"The Christmas Tin by Roderick J. Robison was a wonderful Christmas read that was indeed enjoyable from the start to the very end. This is a read for everyone who would truly find some value as well as appreciation for this wonderful well written novel. I can see this would be of benefit for many families to start this treasure of keeping a show more 'Christmas Tin.' Wow is all I have to say. This was such a incredible story of a father telling his daughter of his traditional Christmas and how he got this wonderful gift of the tin. The characters that were presented in the novel were simply wonderful...especially Ardella's wonderful stories...of the doves, ornament and the letter...all bond up in her life. In this tin were 'souvenirs and memories' of Ardella's past with each one representing a story of 'love, hardships, miracles and faith.' This is a short read but such a powerful one that you will not forget. Even though this read can be read anytime I would still recommend it during the Christmas holidays.

If you have not had a chance to read "The Christmas Tin" I would definitely recommend you pick up the truly amazing read. You will not be sorry one bit. show less
