Five Stockings: Christmas Stories

By Bert Goolsby

Book Overview

Stockings hung from a mantel piece at Christmastime hold small gifts. Some delight, while others disappoint. Some we anticipate; others surprise us. We can see, taste, hear, smell, or feel most of our gifts; but there are a few that, as Helen Keller once said, can only be "felt with the heart." Usually, we know a gift when we see one; however, every now and then, something will come along that we wont recognize or appreciate as being the gift that it is until later on, if even then. Collected here are five stories about gifts and giving, stories that may cause laughter and stories that just might bring a tear to the eye. They range from a story about a child during the dark days of World War II who yearns for Santa to bring him a bicycle to a tale about a lawyer who lands in jail with a drunken Santa. Five Stockings. Five Stories. Each filled with the presence of Christmas.
