Download or read book The Christmas Kid written by Pete Hamill and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2012-10-30 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of short stories about a long-gone Brooklyn from the legendary New York writer Pete Hamill. Pete Hamill's collected stories about Brooklyn present a New York almost lost but not forgotten. They read like messages from a vanished age, brimming with nostalgia: for the world after the war, the days of the Dodgers and Giants, and even, for some, the years of Prohibition and the Depression. The Christmas Kid is vintage Hamill. Set in the borough where he was born and raised, it is a must-read for his many fans, for all who love New York, and for anyone who seeks to understand the world today through the lens of the world that once was. "Hamill, a master raconteur, mines his own roots in this enchanting new anthology." --New York Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Everyone has a birthday. Everyone has a best friend. But how many people are lucky enough to have the SAME birthday AS their best friend? Halloween Boy and the Christmas Kid share that very special connection. They were born on the same day and in the same hospital. But they are still very different. Because it's believed back at birth that one boy was touched by the Haunted Hand of Halloween, so he celebrates everything spooky all year round. While the other kid felt the festive finger of Christmas leaving him to decorate days far from December. Two boys that share so much, but who also have so little in common. What do best friends do when they realize that their similarities end with a date on the calendar? This beautifully illustrated children's story reminds kids that the things that we are each interested in are what makes us unique. And having friends with different interests, makes friendships perfect!" -- Amazon.com.

Download or read book Jimsy written by Leona Dalrymple and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1915 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His name was Jimsy and he took it for granted that you liked him. That made things difficult from the very start-that and the fact that he arrived in the village two days before Christmas strung to such a holiday pitch of expectation that, if you were a respectable, bewhiskered first citizen like Jimsy's host, you felt the cut-and-dried dignity of a season which unflinching thrift had taught you to pare of all its glittering non-essentials, threatened by his bubbling air of faith in something wonderful to happen. He had arrived at twilight, just as the first citizen was about to read his evening paper, and he had made a great deal of noise, yelling back at old Austin White, whose sleigh had conveyed him from the station to the house, a "S'long, Uncle!" pregnant with the friendliness of a conversational ride. He had scraped away his snow-heels with a somewhat sustained noise, born perhaps of shyness, and now, as he stood in the center of the prim, old-fashioned room, a thin, eager youngster not too warmly clad for the bite of the New England wind, Abner Sawyer felt with a sense of shock that this city urchin whom Judith had promised to "Christmas," detracted, in some ridiculous manner, from the respectability of the room. He was an inharmonious note in its staid preciseness. Moreover, it was evident from the frank friendliness of his dark, gray eyes that he was perniciously of that type who frolic through a frosty, first-citizen aura of informality and give and accept friendship as a matter of course.

Book excerpt: Casey Rickert is in trouble. He's just lost his plane ticket back home to Kansas City in an unfriendly poker game. He has a Lit paper due on a book he's never read, and on top of everything else, even though he took off finals week to go surfing, his cutback still hasn't improved. But Casey's talent for getting into and out of trouble has earned him the nickname "The Wizard," and he views this latest assortment of predicaments merely as opportunities for yet another brilliant recovery. Lately, though, Casey's predilection for trouble seems to be outstripping even his own marvelously cosmic equilibrium. His brother Davy's death almost a year ago upended Casey's world and left him shaken, vulnerable, and hurtling from one disaster to the next. Wandering through Santa Barbara in a desperate attempt to get home, Casey's chance impersonation of Santa Claus opens up to him a hidden world of goodwill toward men, unanswered Christmas wishes, and beard itch. Still wearing the Santa suit, Casey embarks on a journey from Los Angeles to Kansas City, rediscovering kindness, hope, and love from the people he meets along the way. Michael Allin's The Christmas Kid is an inspiring story of redemption.
