The holiday season is filled with excitement—decorations, family gatherings, and festive traditions that bring joy to our hearts. But at the center of it all is the story that started it: the birth of Jesus Christ. Margaret Lee’s The Eve of The Christmas is a touching and poetic retelling of that sacred event, offering readers of all ages a chance to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas.
Written under the name Peggy L. Stortz, The Eve of The Christmas is not just a book—it’s an experience. Through beautifully crafted verses, the story transports readers back to Bethlehem, where Mary and Joseph, weary from travel, searched for shelter. With no room at the inn, they found refuge in a stable, and there, under the glow of a guiding star, Jesus was born. The shepherds, led by divine light, arrived to witness the miracle, their hearts filled with wonder and joy.
The book’s poetic features set it apart from the rest. A well-crafted poem has the power to elicit deep emotions unlike prose ever could, and Lee’s words do just that. In watching Mary and Joseph make their way through the world, readers are made to feel as if they are walking along with them. The people who came to see the infant King were awe-struck as the vivid words presented the gentle floating images of a twinkling night sky, a calm stable, and the King who had just been born.
Alongside the beautifully adorned prose, The Eve of The Christmas bears one of the most important themes. This text serves as a reminder that Christmas should not be associated with buying material items but with cherishing love, faith, and belief in hope. This book challenges readers to disregard the societal notion that the holiday season should be stressful and allows us to reflect on what actually matters.
