{"title":"Christmas Books and Gifts","description":"\u003cp\u003eChristmas gift books for grandparents, mums, dads and couples: nine titles that give the season something to hold. There is the Christmas story from Matthew and Luke, A Christmas Carol complete and unabridged, an Advent of readings from Spurgeon with a morning and an evening reading for each day from 1 to 25 December, twenty-eight hymns most of us can still sing from memory, and keepsake journals that draw out a parent's or grandparent's Christmases one question at a time. Every book is 8.5 x 11 in (US Letter), a generous page for reading aloud or writing in, and several titles are set in large print. Each one is printed to order, and shipping is free on every order. It is the opposite of a phone at the table: a real book, opened by the tree, that will still be there next December.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gifts-for-grandparents\" class=\"as-chip\"\u003eGifts for Grandparents\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gifts-for-mum\" class=\"as-chip\"\u003eGifts for Mum\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gifts-for-dad\" class=\"as-chip\"\u003eGifts for Dad\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/keepsake-books\" class=\"as-chip\"\u003eKeepsake Books\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/devotional-comfort-books\" class=\"as-chip\"\u003eDevotional and Comfort Books\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is inside\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree kinds of book sit on this page.

The devotionals are for December: An Advent with Spurgeon offers a morning and an evening reading from Spurgeon for each day from 1 to 25 December, and Hymns We Remember prints every verse of twenty-eight well-known hymns with room to note where you sang them.
