Merry Christmas What does that mean to you? Happiness, joy, lighthearted celebration?

It does encompass all that...and so much more. It is an acknowledgment of the day set aside to remember the birth of Jesus -- a time for joyful celebration if ever there was one

The authors who have contributed to the fourth Christmas Moments book share some of their memories of Christmases Past. Their recollections range from family traditions to singular occasions -- through happy times and trying times.

In its own way each story illustrates how, no matter what our circumstances, at Christmastime we find happiness and joy when we decide not to focus on ourselves or the decorations and the gifts, but choose to celebrate Christ's birth.

If you love stories that express the wonder of Christmas, touch the heart, and stir the emotions, you will love Merry Christmas Moments.
