| | Amazon.com: Christmas Is Coming!: Books: Charles Ghigna,Debra Ghigna,Mary O'Keefe Young (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16) |
 | | With the exception of somewhat unusual "Overstocked," a poem about using panty hose for a Christmas stocking, and "Grandpa's Gift," which concerns a little girl's surprise when she receives a present from her recently deceased grandpa, the poems are pleasant, but offer few vivid images to make them memorable. |
 | | Celebrate the joy of getting gifts ready and decorating the tree, the anticipation of Christmas Eve, the excitement of Christmas Day, the warmth of family visits, and even the bittersweet time of putting away the decorations. |
 | | The poems are useful as a starting point for classroom discussion, craft projects, or student compositions on a variety of subjects, ranging from the preparation for and celebration of Christmas to the ideas of family, generosity, and tradition. |
