Publisher's Synopsis
Christmas is a time of busyness, stress, overspending, and overeating. It's easy to become overwhelmed by the holiday, and some adults even learn to dread its approach. But what if this wasn't so? Christmas is a magical time for children; what if it regained that magic for adults as well? Winter Stories is a collection of cheerful holiday stories intended to inspire happiness. In the story of Harry Fairbanks, for instance, his divorce is imminent. He's on his way home to tell his wife it's over when "Santa Facilitator" Charles E. Puck appears and gives him a magic Santa hat that changes his viewpoint on everything, including the love of his wife. And then there's Franklin Doyle, who in a life crisis spies a magical website originating from London, England-and decides to make a visit. A mystical winter fog comes up, and Doyle is transported back in time to hang out with Ebenezer Scrooge and old Mr. Fezziwig. Each of the 10 stories in this collection is written with the joyous winter season in mind-a time of hope and peace. Smile, forget the stresses of life, and find your joy.
