This is David Spangler's fourth anthology of stories. They were written to send to family and friends at Christmas time, so they share themes appropriate to the Holiday. However, they are stories celebrating the wonder that exists in the world around us every day of the year, so they are not simply Christmas stories. Mostly, they are meant to entertain and bring joy. If they also inspire a moment of thoughtfulness about the magic of life, then they have more than fulfilled their intent. each story has a B&W cover illustration. the book is 186 pages
