Snowflakes and Persimmon Tea: A Holiday Collection of Short Stories

By Heather Ormsby

A Heartwarming Holiday Short Story Collection About Home, Kindness, and Second Chances

Step into the quiet magic of the holiday season with this beautifully written collection of short stories that celebrate the moments that matter most.

Set against snowy nights, glowing windows, and familiar winter rituals, these stories explore the many ways the holidays shape our lives. Within these pages, you'll meet characters facing reconciliation after years apart, children discovering courage and wonder, neighbors offering unexpected refuge, and ordinary people whose small acts of generosity become unforgettable gifts.

These are not tales of perfect holidays or picture-perfect families. Instead, they reflect the real emotional landscape of the season-where grief and joy often walk hand in hand, where love shows up imperfectly but sincerely, and where warmth can be found in the simplest gestures: a shared cup of tea, a borrowed coat, a safe place to land.

Perfect for reading by the fire, sharing aloud, or savoring one story at a time, this collection offers comfort, hope, and gentle reminders of what the holidays are truly about.

Ideal for readers who enjoy:

Cozy, character-driven holiday stories

Themes of family, forgiveness, and found community

Thoughtful, emotionally resonant short fiction

Stories that celebrate kindness, generosity, and quiet miracles

Whether you're looking for a meaningful seasonal read or a gift that lingers long after the decorations are put away, this collection invites you to slow down, reflect, and rediscover the light that appears-even in the coldest moments of winter.
