"Lisa Bargeman's Christmas Book is a gem. Filled with poignant stories, it is refreshing to the mind as well as to the body. A Christmas joy for every household to possess. Please purchase it and you won't be disappointed. An excellent work from a busy pen.""

Pius Ashiara

"Christmas Memoirs: A Family Treasury is what a memoir should be. Bargeman's documentation of one family blurs the lines between the familial and cultural, forging a rare bridge between personal and sociological histories. What makes Christmas... so significant is not because it tells the story of one family's struggle, but because it speaks about the cultural institution of Christmas in a context that is pure Americana - the assimilation of immigrated customs into an ever-evolving modern context."
