Description
“Look Frank, I am no preacher. Haven’t attended church regularly for twenty years and don’t intend to start. But to usurp a religious holiday, one that embodies the very caring and giving of God, to the banal blather of sameness thrust upon us by non-caring commercial enterprises is wrong. It subjects us to the same soulless existence as those merchants Jesus drove from the temple. To deny your soul is to deny a reason for being. It places us as mere chattel in an uncaring Universe. I have seen the sun rise over the ocean, Frank. I have seen a baby being born. I have seen a strong man stoop to help a child. These are works of the soul, Frank. Because if we had no soul the beauty would not be seen, the child would not be born, and the man would not car to help the child.” – Excerpt from the short story “A Christmas Story” written in 2000.
American Christmas Stories is a compilation of ten short stories. Each story was written in a different year and reflects the issues or events that happened during that year, good or bad. Each story was written when the memories were fresh. In this respect, American Christmas Stories is a time capsule of memories and feelings reflected upon during each of those Christmas seasons of the first decade of the 21st Century.
