Product Description

If you are trying to rediscover the traditional joys of yuletide celebrations, then look no further. Classic Christmas is a stirring collection of more than seventy true-life stories that chronicle the simpler delights of the season. These touching tales include:
  • Mama's Gift, a story of a grieving young woman comforted by the arrival of a Christmas gift from her mother, several days after her death.
  • Lighting of the Tree, in which the townspeople of a tropical paradise find the Christmas spirit, despite the palm trees and warm weather.
  • Daddy's Christmas Dinner, about a domestically-challenged father who comes through for his family when his wife is unexpectedly hospitalized.
    A book that celebrates the spiritual meaning of the holidays, Classic Christmas will evoke warm memories of your Christmases past-and remind you that most precious gift of the season is the love you share with friends and family.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious morsels of Christmas memories., November 21, 2006
    What a wonderful book to start the holidays with! The short stories in this book are delicious morsels of Christmas memories that brought back my own personal memories of Christmas time. "Classic Christmas" is a collection of short stories that are easy to read and really fill you with the holiday spirit. The addition of the "spotlight" of the individual towns through out the book really add to the home spun feel of the stories. This book will be added to my list of gifts to family and friends this year for sure!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Christmas - a beautiful collection of true holiday stories, January 10, 2007
    I love this book. That's not because I'm one of the many writers who contributed to this volume but because these are such true to life stories about Christmas that you can't help but be moved by them. The stories range from the bittersweet to the tender and to authentic miracles but there's never a moment when I doubted any of them.

    This is a great book to read during the holiday season to boost spirits or to read any time of the year to capture a little bit of the Christmas spirit year round.
