Chicken Soup for the Soul: It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas, edited by Amy Newmark
It's time for another collection of warm and fuzzy Christmas tales from the Chicken Soup folks. As always some of them are deeply sentimental, but some of them are downright funny, too, like the story of the ugly elves, the traditional Norwegian breakfast ale, and the one-page poem about an unexpected flight. You'll meet reindeer named Chester and another named Fwank, tales of homemade gifts that meant so much to the givers and the recipients, the pony that wasn't quite the gift a little girl expected, acts of kindness to people in trouble, wonky Christmas decorations, a young man who spends an unexpected Christmas with a Jewish congregation in need of one more participant, a fruitcake that goes to the Mideast and a happy gift that makes a difference in Kenya, and more.
There are also some recipes, Charlie Brown Christmas trees abound, and a nice warm blanket of words to keep you cozy over the holidays.
This year's treat for 2019.
