The Christmas Letters

The Christmas Letters: A Timeless Story for Every Generation
By Bret Nicholaus
Center Street, 2006. 80 pages. Fiction.

If you are looking for a very short inspirational book about remembering what is important at Christmas time, then you may want to pick this book up. In fact it is so short, I am surprised it was published as a single, stand-alone story.

With the whole family together for Christmas, Grandpa explains that he might not be around for another year and wants to do something special. He gives each family member a letter cut out of red velvet. Together the letters spell C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S. Grandpa then goes around the table to explain how each person has made Christmas special for him. Reading this book allows you to reflect on your own family and what they mean to you.
