I recently had the pleasure of reading a heartwarming holiday novel written by Ethel Calvert Phillips, creatively titled "Christmas Light". This captivating book takes readers on a journey filled with the magic of Christmas, making it a perfect choice for the festive season.

The story follows a young protagonist named Emily, who finds herself feeling lost and disconnected during the holiday season. Struggling with the recent loss of her parents, Emily's spirit is crushed, and she fails to find joy in the traditions that once brought her happiness. However, fate has a different plan for her when she stumbles upon a mysterious Christmas light that leads her on a remarkable adventure.

One of the highlights of the book is its well-rounded and relatable characters. Emily, the main character, is beautifully developed, as her struggles are depicted with empathy and authenticity. Her journey from sadness to rediscovering hope and joy is captivating, providing readers with a powerful message of resilience and the importance of embracing the magic within ourselves.

The plot is engaging and filled with surprising twists and turns, keeping readers hooked from beginning to end. The author skillfully weaves together elements of mystery, adventure, and romance, which add depth and excitement to the story. There are moments of laughter, tears, and a hint of suspense, all of which make the reading experience thoroughly enjoyable.

Furthermore, Phillips' writing style is elegant and lyrical, which adds to the overall enchantment of the novel. Her vivid descriptions and well-crafted dialogues bring the characters and their emotions to life, making it easy to connect with them on an emotional level. The author's ability to create a heartwarming and magical atmosphere throughout the book is truly commendable.

TO

MY MOTHER

Light of the world, the world is dark about Thee; Far out on Judah's hills the night is deep. Not yet the day is come when men shall doubt Thee, Not yet the hour when Thou must wake and weep; O little one, O Lord of Glory, sleep!

Love of all heaven, love's arms are folded round Thee, Love's heart shall be the pillow for Thy cheek. Not yet the hour has come when hate shall wound Thee, Not yet for shelter vainly must Thou seek. Rest, little one, so mighty and so weak.

Lie still and rest, Thou Rest of earth and heaven; Rest, little hands our Hope of bliss ye keep; Rest, little heart one day shalt Thou be riven; O newborn Life, O Life eternal, sleep! Far out on Judah's hills the night is deep.
