You have been given an old fashioned advent calendar. It contains no chocolate, just twenty-five doors. Every day in December you open a door and find a picture representing Christmas-time. What if each of those pictures had a story to tell? This is a collection of stories about Christmas. Family Christmases, mysterious Christmases, lonely Christmases. The Christmases as they should be, as they sometimes are and how they might be. Funny, fantastical, thought-provoking. A story for every day for advent.
