Radio stations are already playing Christmas music and the stores are stocking the shelves with everything from ornaments to candy, cards to jewelry. Even though we haven’t made it to Thanksgiving yet, the yuletide season is upon us and many shoppers are working on their lists now, to avoid the rush later on.
As you look over your gift-giving needs and contemplate what to give Aunt Gladys or little Johnny, may we here in Media Reviews suggest that you give books this year?
The ability to read is one of our most choice blessings. Of all the skills we can acquire, it’s possibly the most important – if you can read, you can do anything, but if you can’t read, you can’t do anything. With a book in your and the ability to read it, you can solve any of life’s problems, learn any occupation, get the guidance and direction you need, find out the answer to a medical condition, and on and on. The possibilities are truly endless. And when you give someone a book, you are showing them that you value the written word and want to share it with them. It’s a meaningful gift that will be appreciated and enjoyed for years to come.
The Media Reviews archives are full of recommendations of books that are high quality and worthwhile. In addition, from now until December 24th, we’ll be featuring even more wonderful books, including children’s picture books specifically written for the special day. You’ll be able to find something for everyone on your list, even for Uncle Fred. (And you know how hard he is to shop for!)
Just go up to the top of this page, put in the search term for the type of book you’re looking for, and click “search.” Up will come a list with scads of books that fit your criteria. If you don’t find what you want immediately, change the wording just a little – it’s in there, I promise.
Happy holidays, and may all of your days be merry, bright, and filled with great reading.
