Product Description:
Beyond the parties and the TV specials and shopping and the gift exchanges—even beyond the sermons and the prayers—Christmas has a way of shedding a twinkling light on our lives like no other day (or time) of the year.

This book is a very personal celebration, reconsideration, and, at times, an indictment of, to quote a lyric from a famous TV special, 'the most wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful day of the year.'
