As she searches for her place in this familiar yet different town, Hanna discovers that even small acts of kindness impact lives…and that the true meaning of Christmas is timeless. Now, she hopes to find her way back to her own time…and this year's comet may lead her to a Christmas miracle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from This Way to Christmas It was late fall when David's world dropped away from him; at least to David that is what seemed to happen. When one loses the very things one always expects to have - big things like mother and father, home and the boys on the block - why, there is not so very much of the world left. To David, speeding toward the Hill Country on the big express with Johanna, it seemed as if there was not enough left to fill even one of the many empty days that lay before him.

Download or read book The Book of Christmas Classic Reprint written by Hamilton W. Mabie and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Christmas Carols are still sung in almost numberless churches, lights glow on altars bound and wreathed with spruce and holly, trees are set up in innumerable homes, and mobs of merry children sing and dance around them, stockings take on grotesque shapes and hang gaping with treasures for early marauders on Christmas morning, and hosts of men and women keep the day in their hearts in all peace and piety. The festival, dear to the heart of sixty generations, has survived the commercial uses which it has been compelled to serve; the weariness of buying and selling in the vast bazaar of nations, stocked with all manner of things which stimulate the offerings of friendship; the widespread sense of irony which success without happiness breeds; the indifference of feeling and satiety of emotion fostered by great prosperity without that grace of culture which subdues wealth to the finer uses of life. It has survived the cynical spirit that distrusts sentiment and sneers at emotion as weaknesses which have no place in a scientific age and among men and women who know life. It has survived that preoccupation with affairs which leaves little time for feelings, and that resolute determination to make men good which leaves scant room for efforts to make them happy.

Every year you have to subscribe to an em ployees' Christmas fund, and then when the day ar rives half the employees are missing and the rest act as if they wish they were.

Besides, I've got an aunt in Somerville, Mass, who always sends me a present! You bet I'm for the association!
