I almost gave up on the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" annual Christmas volume a couple of years ago, as the stories had begun to get quite repetitive. I was mollified by this year's volume, which starts out at Thanksgiving and contains some humorous and touching "turkey tales."
The book gets off to a rollicking start with a section called "Tales of the Tree," which contains a very funny chapter called "Our Dancing Christmas Tree" (although it wasn't funny if you were the person with the tree). "Oh, But There Was a Creature Stirring" is pretty hilarious, too. There are family stories, Santa tales, uncommon Christmases, family mayhem, quiet miracles, even the story of the autistic boy who couldn't connect with humans but who could with a very special Christmas gift.
There are even two New Year stories to round out the holiday season.
Lots of feel-good tales leading up to the holiday: this would be a good bedtime book in the days leading up to Christmas (and remember that there are twelve days of it!).
