Resumen del Editor
"We weren't wealthy, we weren't poor - we just were. We never wanted for anything, except maybe more time together...."
When Eddie was 12 years old, all he wanted for Christmas was a bike. Although his life had gotten harder - and money tighter - since his father died and the family bakery closed, Eddie dreamed that somehow his mother would find a way to have his dream bike gleaming beside their modest Christmas tree that magical morning.
What he got from her instead was a sweater. "A stupid, handmade, ugly sweater" that young Eddie left in a crumpled ball in the corner of his room.
Scarred deeply by the realization that kids don't always get what they want, and too young to understand that he already owned life's most valuable treasures, that Christmas morning was the beginning of Eddie's dark and painful journey on the road to manhood.
It will take wrestling with himself, his faith, and his family - and the guidance of a mysterious neighbor named Russell - to help Eddie find his path through the storm clouds of life and finally see the real significance of that simple gift his mother had crafted by hand with love in her heart.
Based on a deeply personal true story, The Christmas Sweater is a warm and poignant tale of family, faith, and forgiveness that offers us a glimpse of our own lives - while also making us question if we really know what's most important in them.

The rituals of the holiday season give a rhythm to the years and create a foundation for our lives, as we gather with family, with our communities at church, at school, and even at the mall, to share the special spirit of the season, brightening those long winter days.

It will get you in the spirit
Any additional comments?
I'm not a big fan of Glenn Beck. If I had known of his politics before buying it, I probably wouldn't have. That would have been my loss. It's a very good book and will put you in a Christmas mood by the end.

Riveting story that you'll find hard to put down
This is a very heart warming story that I'd recommend to anyone with no hesitation. The author may be a divisive person in the political and media arena, but this is an excellent book. It is a story that most people can related to and many can at least empathize with. I applaud Beck for writing such a fantastic book. You really will have a hard time putting this down.

Sweet but disappointing
Glenn Beck has jumped into the nostalgia realm with a sweet little book about a memory that he has of his childhood. I certainly appreciate the effort and applaud his willingness to open himself up and be transparent in this fairy tale of sorts.
I found myself totally absorbed in the movement and style of his writing and the voice he used to keep me interested and even entertained throughout ... until the bitter end. I say the bitter end because I found that his use of a rather hackneyed finale to be somewhat disappointing. He had set me up for something truly extraordinary but just could not give a strong payoff.
Please do not hear me saying one should not read or listen to this book. For many people it will hold a wonderful feeling of comfort for the "old days of yore." But for me, the nostalgia simply was not enough to satisfy my love of the ironic twist and the unexpected ending that is both logical and not totally unexpected.
So, I'm not going to say how it ends, since that is for the reader/listener to discover and then decide for himself whether or not it is satisfying. I only want to prepare the reader to not expect too much and to not be too disappointed if it does not completely satisfy. Enjoy it for what it is. I did. But, don't expect it to be more than a simple little nostalgic memoir and nothing else.
