Where had it come from? Whose money was it? Was I to spend it? Save it? Pass it on to someone more needy? Above all else, why was I chosen? Certainly there were others, countless others, more needy than me...
Her reporter's intuition insisted that a remarkable story was on the verge of the front page.
Newspaper reporter Hope Jensen uncovers the remarkable secret behind the "Christmas Jars", glass jars filled with coins and bills anonymously left for people in need. But along the way, Hope discovers much more than the origin of the jars. When some unexpected news sets off a chain reaction of kindness, Hope's greatest Christmas Eve wish comes true.
The Christmas Jars by Jason F. Wright is a heartwarming Christmas story. More than once I had tears in my eyes while reading the touching book.
Focusing on giving during Christmas instead of getting, I loved the message of this story. I admit it does fit somewhere on far side of the unbelievability scale and is a little sappy. However read as a feel good, remind me what Christmas is all about reason, this is a great holiday book.
I'm thinking we'll start a Christmas Jar of our own this year.

I watched on the news ysterday of someone in New York doing a Secret Santa and handing out 100 Dollar bills to people in need. Nice!
I have been wanting to read this. Great review.
This is a great book - I read it last year at Christmas time. I had a jar that I used the $$ to buy the gifts for a Giving Tree at Church that supports The Sr Center, the local homeless shelter, an the youth home.
