Christmas and the days leading to it can be quiet special and memorable. Although, some school of thought are of the opinion that Christmas celebration is no longer as great as it used to be. Nevertheless, Larada indeed went the extra mile to merge the past with the present, about everything Christmas. In addition to recounting her own lovely moments during Christmas, in the years gone by, she also provided practical ideas on how Christmas can be best celebrated.
Granted that Christmas is celebrated for just a day, but the memories that go with it can last a lifetime. Especially, when people are intentional about it. The Christmas carols, the Christmas trees, twinkling lights, Santa Claus, Nativities etc.are some of the unique activities that happen during Christmas celebrations.
Larada also added a fictional touch to the already known Bible stories about the birth of Jesus Christ. She made herself present in real time and was able to communicate with them.
Hair on Fire may appear like a strange name for a book like this, but the contents can make a huge difference about how we celebrate Christmas.
Truly, the best Christmas celebration shouldn’t be the ones we experienced during childhood. With the help of this book, we can enjoy even more exciting ones going forward!
