CHRISTMAS PRESENCE is a collection of stories from twelve different people. Each short story is quite unique. Some of the authors received certain gifts that were an immediate sucess and others didn't recognize the significance of their gifts until years later. One man wrote about the traditions of Christmas that were shared by his family and how, even today, he can picture all of the stockings hanging up, each filled with unique and thoughtful items. A woman told her story of receiving a camera when she was eight years old from her Aunt Harriet. Because of the photographs that she took over the years, she became the storyteller for her family, and photography became a part of her entire life.
The stories really gave me some different insights and make me realize how each and every Christmas is special. All of the stories reflect in some way to the spiritual part of Christmas. The editor of the book, Gregory Pierce says "the Incarnation --the presence of God in our world-- is the essence of Christmas."

This lovely little volume is a gift that keeps on giving. Its essays are simple, elegant, soulful, inspiring. And thought-provoking. You may well find yourself searching your own Christmas memories, and finding gems you had long forgotten. Which is what this book is all about -- seeing, hearing, remembering those things we take for granted, and cherishing them anew. This is a book to feed the heart, and the soul. And it's just the right size for stocking stuffing!
