Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Gift of Christmas--A Special Collection of Joyful Holiday Stories

This hardcover Chicken Soup book is 653 pages long, and is an exclusive sold at Wal-mart this holiday season. My own essay is included on page 426.
Most Chicken Soup books only have 101 stories. This one has many more, and benefits from it for a big reason: variety. It has every sort of Christmas story you can imagine, from a child's view on a memorable event, to the heartbreak of losing a loved one, to the religious and inspirational aspects of the day. When I started reading, I admit, I was not in the Christmas spirit. A few unpleasant things had just happened in my life and sucked all the holiday joy out of me. That changed as I began to read. Some of the stories made me laugh. Others made my eyes fill with tears. Some made me sad, like I wanted to reach out and give the author a hug.
It's a great collection, and one I hope my son will read in future years.
