These 101 true, personal stories capture the magic, joy, and spirit of the holiday season. From Thanksgiving to Hanukkah, to Christmas and New Year's, this new collection will help you de-stress and brighten your season and the winter beyond-no matter which holidays you're celebrating. 

Whether it's a tale of unexpected kindness, a long-awaited family reunion, or a humorous anecdote about some kind of holiday disaster, you'll be entertained and inspired by these stories contributed by people from all walks of life. They celebrate the holidays in their own unique, and sometimes very funny, ways. 

And we didn't forget the kids either. This book is "Santa safe,” meaning it keeps the magic alive for even the most precocious readers. In addition, your purchase will support Toys for Tots, creating miracles for children and their families all over the U.S.
