book review: the paper bag christmas

December 12, 2017



This was such a cute story! It was perfect to have a nice, easy read for such a busy month!

Our discussion focused on the character development of these children and really how they grew and the lessons they learned.

This story takes place in the children’s ward of a hospital and I think that so many valuable lesson can be learned from Jose who are sick. They have such a different perspective on life and although they are struggling, they always seem to have a positive attitude.

Through this book you learn the true meaning of Christmas and also of the good that can be done at this time of year. The rest of our discussion focused on service. We always say that we want to be more involved in service and yes, there are things you can do weekly or monthly that are planned out, organized acts of service. But just as meaningful are those acts of service that are simple, kind, and unplanned.

So I think that it’s more about being mindful of service and just searching for opportunities in our every day life and accept the opportunities that are presented before us.

I highly recommend this book for all!
