All three stories stole sleep from me and they'll steal it from you, I just know they will if you give them a chance. They are wonderful books that deserve to be on everybody's bookshelf, Christmas and birthday lists. Really, I can't recommend them highly enough. If you're shopping for mom or dad, daughter or son, sister or brother, significant other or a very good friend, you don't need to look any farther than of these divine books for your gift giving this year. So without out further ado here's a brief summery of this outstanding works. The Best Happiest and Saddest Book I've Ever Read 'Tangerine Dream' , by Ken Douglas and Jack Stewart One can look at Tangerine Dream in a couple of ways. It's a coming of age story, not your typical one though, because it involves two Southern California girls, Haley and Taylor, who have an adventure in New Zealand and wind up falling in love with each other. During the course of their adventure, they decide that they want to buy a sailboat and sail away from the pressures their wealthy family's will put on them when they find out they are gay, and the pressures will be plenty, because one of their father's is a United States Senator and he's running for President. And one can view Tangerine Dream as a Mainstream novel along the lines of 'The Horse Whisperer' or 'The Notebook' . It certainly has it's tragic moments when Taylor's twin dies and the burial is guaranteed to elicit tears. And the ending had me weeping like there was no tomorrow. The story has a nice revenge type element to it as well, when the philandering senator gets his comeuppance. And surprisingly this is happy book, despite the tragedy that happens very near the end, despite the weeping, it still manages to make you feel good. I can't recommend this book highly enough, it's the best happiest and saddest book I've ever read. Simply a Divine Story 'The Secret Life of Bees' , by Sue Monk Kidd I was delighted when THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES was selected as book of the month by my book group. I have heard and read so much about this book and had been meaning to pick it up for the longest time. Let me tell you, it was worth the wait! This is a fantastic and charming story that is written with beauty and grace. It was a pleasure to read from start to finish! As many reviewers have mentioned, the story revolves around Lily Owen in the time of the civil rights movement. Lily is a young white teenager who lost her mother at a young age and is being raised for the most part by her black nanny, Rosaleen. One day while trying to register to vote, Rosaleen crosses paths with some of the town's racists and is forced to flee. Lily sees this as her opportunity to start a new life as well, so the two of them head to Tiburon, South Carolina, a town Lily knows of through her only keepsake of her mother. Rosaleen and Lily are taken in by three women beekeepers and Lily begins to start to understand the world in which she is living. Without ruining the story for those who haven't had a chance to read it, I will skip over the rest of the plot of this superb coming of age story and just say that this beautiful book was incredibly touching and moving. It warmed my heart and I look forward to sharing it with friends and family. Funny, Quirky, Delicious Wonderful Baseball Story 'Waiting for Teddy Williams' , by Howard Frank Mosher "Waiting for Teddy Williams" follows the story of Ethan "E.A." Allen who grows up in Kingdom Common, Vermont, the unofficial capitol of the Red Sox Nation, a town with a baseball bat factory, a town where every radio is tuned to every Sox game. E.A. is homeschooled by his single mother, stripper, hooker, escort, wannabe country singer Gypsy Lee Allen, who teaches him much more than the average boy would learn in school. Her lessons also include batting practice. E.A. has two dreams, one to be a Red Sox hero and two, he wants to find his father, who his mother refers to as Mr. Gone and Long Forgotten. Then one day during the summer when he is eight years old, a drifter named Teddy Williams shows up on his family's property and E.A., young man of the house, goes out to shoo the fellow off. But before the drifter leaves, he teaches E.A. a few things about baseball and about life. The drifter will return throughout this humorous story full of quirky characters, always teaching E.A. and yes, the drifter is his dad. And yes, E.A. finally makes it to the majors, playing for the Sox. And yes this coming of age story is about much more than just baseball, but if you are a reader who loves the game, then you're guaranteed to love this book. But you don't have to be a card-carrying baseball fanatic to be captured and captivated by this story. I know, because Mr. Mosher drew me right in and I've never played the game. Here is a list of some more wonderful books that make for wonderful gift giving. You can just skip over the wordy, jumbled together list and go straight down to the thumbnail of the bookcover and click on any of the one's you're interested in and you'll be taken straight to it's page on Amazon. Merry Christmas one and all and happy reading, Gracie 'The Five People You Meet in Heaven' , 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (Vintage Contemporaries)' , 'The Kite Runner' , 'Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books' , 'The Time Traveler's Wife (Harvest Book)' , 'Middlesex: A Novel' , 'The Virgin Suicides' , 'Life of Pi' , 'Little Earthquakes' , 'Magical Thinking : True Stories' , 'The Sunday Philosophy Club : An Isabel Dalhousie Mystery' , 'Northern Lights' , 'Guji Guji' , 'The Dogs of Bedlam Farm : An Adventure with Sixteen Sheep, Three Dogs, Two Donkeys, and Me' , 'The Grim Grotto (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 11)' , 'Travel Team' , 'Chronicles, Vol. 1' , 'The Dark Tower (The Dark Tower, Book 7)' , 'The Da Vinci Code' , 'Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell: A Novel' , 'Incubus Dreams (Anita Blake Vampire Hunter)' , 'Angels & Demons' , 'Trace (Kay Scarpetta Mysteries)' , 'Dead Ringer' , 'Sacred Stone (Oregon Files (Paperback))' , 'The System of the World (The Baroque Cycle, Vol. 3)' , 'London Bridges (Alex Cross Novel)' , 'Double Homicide: Boston / Sante Fe (2 in 1)' , 'Hour Game' , 'Deception Point' , 'The Golem's Eye (The Bartimaeus Trilogy, Book 2)' , 'Belly Laughs: The Naked Truth About Pregnancy and Childbirth' , 'Night Fall' , 'The Last Juror' , 'Dragon Rider' , 'The Narrows: A Novel' , 'Hidden Prey' , 'Therapy' , 'R is for Ricochet' , 'Ragged Man' , 'Song of Susannah (The Dark Tower, Book 6)' , 'The Complete Cartoons of The New Yorker' , 'On the Wing: To the Edge of the Earth with the Peregrine Falcon;( Rough Cut)' , 'Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation' , 'He's Just Not That Into You: The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys' I know this list seems sort of hodge podgy, because I kind of jumped from genre to genre, but I've tried to enclued something for everyone in the family. I sincerely hope you find something to put under the tree this year.

Today at Home host Edye Ellis shows some creative, artistic ways to wrap gifts for any holiday or special occasion. She demonstrates how to make custom gift wrap and how to use ordinary household items such as bubble wrap, newspapers and more. Gift for a child Use old newspapers for this one. The comic section would be a perfect choice for any child. Wrap the box, then from a variety of colored pieces of construction paper, cut out some figures or designs. (One suggestion would be to trace the child's hand onto the construction paper.) Glue the construction-paper designs onto the package. A great way to top the package is to take some packing-foam peanuts, thread with colored wire and twist into any shape desired. Adorn the package with this foam-peanut creation, and children will love it. Bubble-wrap gift Who doesn't enjoy bubble wrap? Then why not use it to decorate a package. Wrap the package with tissue paper first, then apply the bubble wrap (smooth side down) with clear glue on the package. Secure the bubble wrap tightly by using tape if necessary. Decorate the package with cutout designs, placing them between the bubble wrap and the tissue paper. Wrap for odd-shape gifts For those hard-to-wrap gifts that don't have a box, consider using scarves. Place whatever you're wrapping in the center of the scarf, take two corners and tie them together and take the other two corners and tie as well. The recipient will have a gift and a scarf as an added bonus. Pieces of material (silk or whatever) can be used if a scarf is not available.

Because of their unwavering faith and trust in me, people are gathering at different places to celebrate my birthday, and for that I feel thanks and appreciation. I am just a simple Buddhist monk, and so I really don’t take that much interest in celebrating birthdays. Whenever I begin a new day, I always pray that the day will be a meaningful and beneficial one—that is, in helping and serving others. I feel that this thought is more important than celebrating a birthday. However, since people are celebrating my birthday with joy and happiness and with faith in me, I would like to offer them a few words. I am now seventy years old. During this lifetime, since I was fifteen or sixteen years old, I have taken on the responsibility of Tibet’s temporal and spiritual affairs. It was a responsibility that was too difficult to shoulder, but because of my karmic relations with Tibet, I took the responsibility and have served the country to the best of my ability. In the past 46 years, I have had to live as a refugee—most of my life has been spent as a refugee. During this time, the most difficult and saddest thing has been hearing endless stories about the sufferings of our Tibetan people inside Tibet: so and so died, a father died, relatives died, imprisonment, death by hunger and so on—endless stories of suffering and torture. Despite these difficulties, there are two reasons for not losing hope or being discouraged: First is that the people of Tibet have an unwavering faith and trust in me, and secondly, the teachings of the Lord Buddha help me to maintain my mental balance. I never become hopeless or desperate. I always have this thought: whatever I do, I do it for the benefit of others. As Shantideva says in the Guide to the Bodhisattva’s Way of Life: “And now as long as space endures, As long as there are beings to be found, May I continue likewise to remain, In order to drive away the sorrows of the world.” So when I think these thoughts, they give me courage and determination to face these problems. Because of these, I am not a desperate person, but a happy one. I now share my thoughts with my friends—both male and female. Every human being desires happiness and desires not to suffer. From my experience, I can say that to have a meaningful and happy life, inner development is more important than life’s external factors. The way one thinks is more important than the accumulation of wealth and external environment. It really makes a big difference. You have to bear this in mind. To have a compassionate and altruistic mind is the basis for happiness in this life and also the beginning of happiness for your next life. So the best present my friends could give me for my birthday is to be good, compassionate and altruistic people. So if people are celebrating my birthday with joy and happiness, I would like to say thank you.
