There's no doubt in my mind that my favorite season would have to be Christmas. The time where I get to spend time with my family, exchanges gifts and drink eggnog. It's just a warm time even when it's so cold outside. This book and it's poems convey this feeling in so many different ways. I totally recommend this book for anyone who just wants to jump into that time of the year, even when it's not.

Warm, wonderful and just right as gifts for family and friends or to treat yourself to uplifting words encompassing this time of the year. Parents will delight in reading some of these poems to their children just before bed time. Any reader of almost any age will be comforted by this collection of Helen Steiner Rice's poems enhanced by exquisite illustrations. The book is small, compact. and can easily be read at one sitting, however I recommend just a few pages at a time. Pause, take a moment away from your busy schedules, and stress, and tension and all the pressures of life. Stop and smell the roses, look at the poinsettas, and savor the infinite timeless beauty of "Christmas Blessings".

Stan Rice's inane poetry disgusts and repulses me to no end. The fact that no talent hacks can get published because their wives are famous is repugnant to me. His poetry is gibberish disguised as deep intelectual prose. The words do rhyme, which should entertain the likes of kindergarteners everywhere. There is no meaning to his poems.

What does this mean? If you can read meaning into this, then you're lying to yourself and everyone else. Please do not buy this book, I've seen better poetry on the stalls of restroom walls. Look I just made a rhyme... publish me.

Stan Rice was a highly successful, award winning PUBLISHED Poet years before his wife even wrote her first book. It is interesting to see such envious hostility in some reviews that clearly have nothing to do with the artist; stan rice.
Poetry is music, and there is music for the infinite tastes and desires of all people.
Stan's work is powerful, strickingly honest, with often dreamlike qualities questioning all things taken for granted. He has always remained genuine and strong in his delivery and insites.
And each of his books becomes more and more of its own world, you marval nervously as you dare to enter!
thanks.

This book is so amazing and so full of meaning and understanding. I am so in love with everything written in this book of poetry. Stan Rice is a phenom in that his brillance and feeling bleed through the words he had written. If you love poetry as I do, then this book is a must have.
