This holiday book is written in a way that all cultures will understand. The stories address holiday traditions and issues that are universal to humans everywhere. Though traditions and celebrations may be different around the world, all languages recognize the joys of holiday magic, family, miracles, and love. We hope children will be memorized by the wonders and joys of the season that are highlighted in this book. We also hope this book will transport adults to their own childhood (or a childhood of their dreams), reminding them of the many joys of the holiday season. May joy be so contagious that people everywhere will want to go forth into the world and interact with all other living beings.
