A New Christmas Tradition
Seven years ago Harrison wrote a short story for our family—a homemade gift in a tight-budget year. The following year he wrote another one. Not content to write alone, he urged all of us to start writing Christmas stories in December, and a tradition was born. This year we’ve collected our five favorites in one place: Tales of the Glories. I contributed the recipes and short vignettes between each chapter—because nothing pairs with a good story like a plate of Christmas cookies hot from the oven.
From the Back of the Book
What if there's more to Christmas than lights and gifts and food and fellowship? The Watters family presents an anthology of stories wrestling with the way we approach Christmas as people with broken expectations in need of redemption. There are recipes for cookies to eat while you learn about the lost spirit of Christmas, what the elves are up to, the world where it’s Christmas all the time, the story behind “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day,” and what happens to the Nice family at Christmas time.
What people are saying
“We got some good laughs from Teddy’s story, it may be a nightly read for us.”
“We read Longfellow yesterday and I cried multiple times throughout. The kids said, ‘Hey Mom, can you not cry while you read?’ I told them I wasn’t trying to.’ This is a wonderful opportunity for families to slow down and savor the Christmas season. We can’t wait for volume 2!”
