I really like this book. It is well-set up with a cost/effort breakdown and notes for preparation and the expected benefits. I think the first idea in the book is worth the price alone for how it engages the whole family over weeks. The idea about getting the whole family involved with movies is also powerful, and even as a professional film scholar, I had never thought of it. It's brilliant.The author is also very savvy when it comes to bringing gift giving to the Internet era. I have often struggled to think about how to give gifts in an era when younger people are less and less tied to owning physical stuff and more interested in digital things that exist only on their devices.The book is well-written and the author is also very clever about using the Kindle format to serve different reading styles. I am one of those readers who scans past stories, and was so enthused to see that she had designed her book to make it easy to get to the material most relevant to someone like myself.Although I understand what some of the reviewers have said about the more obvious ideas in the book, I think they are all still well worth reading about. They stimulated new ideas for me that would not have arisen without having them thrown into the mix. I highly recommend this book to anyone who cares about creating a Priceless Christmas.
