Meals. Gatherings. Programs. Traditions. Gifts.

We spend so much time, energy, and money in our attempt to make each Christmas - and the days leading up to it - something really special!

We want it to be a season that says "you are loved." But sometimes in the hustle and bustle of the season and our search for the perfect gift we lose sight of what's most important.

The truth is, what started in humble surroundings, the extraordinary wrapped in the ordinary, is the perfect gift. The gift that says "you are cherished." And that's all anyone really needs.

Join these 51 authors as they share their stories of Christmas . . . and the greatest Gift of all.
