Editorial Reviews

Christian Review of Books
Celebrate Simply is a fabulous resource that any shopper and planner should flip through before hitting the malls or the drawing board. I'm going to be going back to this book a lot throughout the year for advice and ideas; it's already helped me focus on what the upcoming holidays are really about. It'll not only help you fine-tune your gift giving, it would also make a great gift itself for that chronic holiday-overloader who starts each new year with too much stress from the preceding two months. Thank you, Nancy! Let's hope we can all learn from your experience!

"Nancy Twigg gives us in Celebrate Simply some practical ideas for how to get off this cycle of overspending on each seasonal extravaganza. Working her way through the year, she gives practical suggestions for celebrating the holidays—both sacred and secular—that not only save money but are more meaningful as well. She also adds suggestions for special days like wedding, graduations, birthdays, and anniversaries."
