Home for Christmas — Mary Collins

What does being home for Christmas mean to you? A huge, happy family gathering? A romp in the snow with friends? Carols by a crackling fire? Homemade cookies?

These eight wonderful classic & contemporary stories remind us in different ways that 'home' is more than a house with a glowing hearth or a family gathered around a lighted Christmas tree. For all of us, being home means love - and that can be any place where we are accepted & we can share with those we cherish.

May these stories bring back good Christmas memories & provide glimpses of the true meaning & hope of Christmas. After all, because a special baby was born long ago in a cattle stall, our real home still awaits us.

Included are: Maggie's Gift by Katherine Paterson; Christmas Day in the Morning by Pearl S. Buck; The Gift of the Magi by O'Henry; The Gifts of the Child Christ by George MacDonald; and four more.
