Overview
This collection of one novella and three short
stories captures the traditional, emotional spirit of Christmas and presents
the spirit in contemporary settings.
Holly Day's Caf, the novella, relates the story of the
last day of business at a Kentucky diner. This last day happens to be Christmas
Eve. It is also the day of a rare blizzard-one which strands several customers
in the diner. What occurs next demonstrates the magic and wonder of the power
and spirit of Christmas.
"Molly's Santa Claus" tells of the drunken homeless man that
six-year-old Molly literally finds on her doorstep. What follows exemplifies
this family's true, selfless Christmas spirit. "Angel Tree" is a
story of Christmas promises broken and Christmas promises kept when a busy
businessman comes face to face with his memories of Christmas past. Finally,
"St. Nicholas of the Neighborhood" shows that things have a way of
working out at Christmas, even when the presents are forgotten in someone
else's house
This collection of Christmas stories for adults is also ideal entertainment
for families to share together as they count the days until Santa's visit
