MEDIA ADVISORY, Dec. 21 /
Christian Newswire/ -- In one sitting with "The Night After Christmas," you will be moved to reconsider your holiday traditions and activities.
Gary Smalley says about the book:
"Delightfully riveting and insightful…I'm sure every person can relate. What a great reminder of what we so often forget!"
Marlene McCurley, 10-year veteran editor and freelance writer wrote this review:
"With the familiar cadence of its much-loved predecessor, 'The Night After Christmas' at first draws the reader back to childhood, and to imagining the sound of reindeer on the roof. Very soon, however, this contemporary collection of poetic couplets scrutinizes post-holiday exhaustion, mounting credit card debt, unrealistic expectations, and the lack of devotion paid to the Child whose birthday the holiday should celebrate. The relevance of the message, the read-aloud nature of the text, and the photo-like quality of the illustrations will make this light-hearted look at a serious topic a new Christmas tradition for stressed out families everywhere."
Jim delights in reciting this poem and is available upon request for holiday presentations. Mr. Chapman, an accomplished public speaker and former award-winning Toastmaster, has perfected the art of writing - and reciting - creative, inspirational poems on holiday and biblical themes. He has performed at churches, schools, weddings and dinner parties. For over 12 years he has been presenting "The Night After Christmas" as a one-person mini-drama to enthusiastic audiences in various settings.
