Stories here are original and fictitious. They are intended to entertain. The first of the short stories in this book is ‘Tub and Chub’. Two little fat boys have been told by their mother that they can have no candy this Christmas. They panic. Their candy cache is empty, devoid of sweets, drained! They set about finding ways to get candy for Christmas and get derailed along the way.
In the ‘Toy Factory’, the only toy factory for miles burns down. The children are devastated because no one has bought toys yet and now they are all gone. But fate has a way of working miracles. The townspeople, each remembering their childhood Christmases, come to the rescue in a most unusual way.
In ‘The Driftwood Madonna’, a younger son feels that his efforts at making a present for his parents are inferior to his brother’s gift. But he finds inspiration on a deserted beach and sets himself on a lifelong path of success. The haggard lady who shops, wraps, hides, cleans, cooks and serves as referee among family factions will enjoy a bit of humor to cheer her Christmas season.
