A heartwarming collection of true stories that will inspire, entertain, and get everyone into the spirit of Christmas
At Christmastime, it's hard not to get caught up in the shopping, the decorating, the party planning and the family drama—and too we often to lose sight of the true meaning of the season. But sometimes, through God's grace or a simple twist of fate, we're able to step back and understand what the holiday is truly about.
The Spirit of Christmas is an inspiring collection of true stories from real-life people who have experienced such moments where the meaning of the season becomes clear and touches their hearts. A man mailing gifts at the post office witnesses a moving scene that changes his life forever. An unhappy couple are drifting further apart...until a special Christmas gift allows them to renew their love and mend their fractured marriage. And a father tries to keep the spirit of Christmas alive for his son with a grand gesture—a gesture that will be remembered by his family and many others for years to come.
Filled with magic, wonder and deep meaning, it's impossible for these stories not to touch your heart—and fill you with The Spirit of Christmas.

      Here's a delightful collection of true stories easily digestible food for the soul. Most, like Sylvia Bright-Green's A Scrooge Christmas? reveal ordinary circumstances illuminated by the spirit of Christmas. When the mother of adult children shares her disappointment and perplexity at receiving combat boots and a chunk of wood as presents, the response is surprising. Several stories, like Murphey's Alone and Broke at Christmas, celebrate the kindness of strangers. Still others convey the challenges of coping with homelessness, life-threatening illnesses, and disabilities while still appreciating the joys of the season. Some are real gems, like Chris Griffin's Mama's Wish, which portrays an appreciation of Santa and snowflakes as seen through the eyes of a slightly demented senior mellowed to childhood wonder by a series of strokes. This book harkens back to the true spirit of Christmas without shopping malls and online shopping. A good choice for library holiday shelves.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2011, American Library Association.)
