Joy to the World: The Cram Family Christmas Cards - Paperback

Everyone wants to be on Regina Cram's Christmas-card list. That's because her family's cards are unlike any other. Each year, Cram tells a story about something that happened in their lives that year; young family members (children or grandchildren) provide illustrations. These are not the Suzy-goes-to-Harvard-Johnny-is-a-Rhodes-Scholar sort of thing; these are everyday stories about everyday people living everyday lives. There's the story of her mother's awful driving, and one about a painful struggle with mental illness, and another featuring a kindergartner who would not stop singing in school. Sometimes hilarious, often thought provoking, Regina Cram shares her family and her faith through years' worth of Christmas cards.
