Christmas Gift that Is Bound to Touch the Heart of Scrooge Himself

Whether it is going to a young child or an adult, I think that a book that can record someone reading it is an awesome gift for those who are separated by a large distance.  Sending your child reading a book to a parent in the military, or a grandparent who lives far away is bound to be a big hit.  Another priceless suggestion with regard to this recorded book would be to have a parent who is separated by distance due to military service or divorce record the reading for their child.  FYI, it may just ease their transition.  If you haven't seen the commercial from Hallmark for this book yet, brace yourself, I cry everytime I see it.
