"Catching Christmas" is a heartwarming and humorous tale of Walter Hawkins, a school headmaster increasingly irritated by the materialistic excesses of Christmas. Walter has had it with political correctness, goofy light displays, braggadocio Christmas letters, drunken Santas, and the new moniker -- Sparkle Season. Walter’s well-meaning rants and desire to help others see the real meaning of Christmas backfire. In his zeal to wage war on the War on Christmas, he almost loses sight of Christmas himself.
Who can blame the man? He’s surrounded by tacky and tinsel. His over-the-top assistant has decorated her minivan with a wreath, garland, twinkling lights and spray snow on the windows that says, "Jesus the Rsn for the Ssn" (she ran out of room for the vowels).
A week before Christmas, Walter must negotiate with a salvage dealer who has come into possession of precious artifiacts gone from the school for years, and deal with a situation involving every teacher's worst headache, Joey Balboa, who makes the television news on a field trip to a living nativity. Everything is in place for a holiday meltdown.
In the spirit of "A Christmas Story" and "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever," Catching Christmas, a light-hearted tale that captures both the imagination and the essence of the Christmas season. This holiday tale will warm the hearts of readers and awaken them to a lovely dimension of Christmas.
Newspaper columnist and author Lori Borgman has brightened the spirits of her readers with weekly commentary rooted in common sense, humor and truth all woven together with the threads of faith. She is also the author of “I Was a Better Mother Before I Had Kids,” “All Stressed Up and No Place To Go” and “Pass the Faith, Please.” You can find Lori at www.loriborgman.com
