Christmas in Plains: Memories
by Jimmy Carter
This collection of Christmas memories spans former president Jimmy Carter's entire life, from a farm boy in rural Georgia through his presidency and into his current life. His childhood stories are the most interesting ones, to me anyways.
Something that stood out to me was during his presidency, he couldn't afford to send out 100,000+ Christmas cards to his list of contacts and he didn't want to burden tax payers, so he asked the DNC to pay for it (and they did). Imagine the president caring about his personal tax burden! So foreign these days. Jimmy Carter is such a humble and admirable man.
PS the audiobook is read by Carter himself-- always a bonus.
