Tales of Christmas, is a collection of short stories celebrating the joy and simplicity of the season of wonder. Cozy up next to the fire with a hot cup of cocoa and allow yourself to relax into the beauty, peace and childlike innocence of the true meaning of Christmas.
For unto us a Child is born -Isaiah 9 The beginning of Christmas. "I have always thought of Christmastime, when it has come round...as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys." - Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol The Spirit of Christmas Fear not - Luke 2 Comfort For, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, - Luke Joy “He went to the church, and walked about the streets, and watched the people hurrying to and fro, and patted the children on the head, and questioned beggars, and looked down into the kitchens of homes, and up to the windows, and found that everything could yield him pleasure. He had never dreamed of any walk, that anything, could give him so much happiness.” - Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol Isaiah, Luke, Matthew and Charles Dickens. Throw in Charles Shultz and Rankin and Bass and there exists the basis of every Christmas tale I have written. For a more complete biography of my Christmas roots, read "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" in A Christmas Story a Day . And, as Tiny Tim said, "God bless us, every one".
