A Christmas Dozen is a series of vignettes on the true meaning of Christmas: faith and goodness to others. Beginning with a retelling of the Magi story on a WWII Low Country farm and moving through locales and lives, any reader is sure to find a story that speaks to them.

This little book is best read like a devotional, I feel, imparting reminders over the advent season (or anytime) about what we should strive to be for others on this earth.

Very sweet collection of stories, I will definitely reread some of my favorites throughout the year!

These are delightful stories,but they are sometimes predictable.

"A Christmas Dozen" is a compilation of stories about goodness and unconditional love.
Two enemies showing compassion to eachother in 1944, a dog that warms a cat that will have kittens in the snow and many more.

I love this one story. Thx for sending it

Three and a half stars. Thoughtful, well-written stories.

Loved it

I teared up,stories are so sweet. Really made me have the Christmas feeling. Hope there are more books like this by the author.

Think of these as the "story before the real sermon begins". Heartwarming, lovingly told, but quite short vignettes on the Christmas theme, these are stories in miniature - - -but still enjoyable when the snow is falling and the chores that accompany Christmas start to become overwhelming.

This small but powerfully written short story book was not only for Christmas reading, it was good for all seasons. It made you smile and it also gave you a bit of a tear, there was insight to other people and their thoughts. The characters could have been folks and families you have met along your own journeys. As I read the last story I turned the page hoping for more.

I look forward to more stories by this author.

In compliance with FTC guidelines, I have won this book through the Goodreads Giveaways.

The stories where ok, I was expecting something more universal, and less Catholic though.

My Rating System:
* couldn't finish, ** wouldn't recommend, *** would recommend, **** would read again, ***** have read again

Does it make me a Grinch if I thought this was only ok?

Sweet, somewhat hokey, but endearing little Christmas stories. We read several out loud.
