This collection of short stories celebrates the diversity of New
Mexico's people, cultures and landscapes. Christmas isn't just a
marketplace holiday, nor is it a narrow observance of tradition, or
the remembrance of an event dimmed by the distance of a couple
thousand years. This is the one time of the year when we can set
free the light that shines within each and every one of us. For a
few days, or weeks, we allow ourselves the opportunity to glow with
peace and good will. The light within vanquishes the fear and anger
for just a moment in time, but within that moment is the hope of
all humanity. For each of these stories, this fifth season of the
year is a special time, with spirituality that transcends the
church pew. This is the season we experience with the senses. After
all, New Mexico is a place where "red and green" don't refer to
decorations, but rather the dinner table choice of red or green
chile. During this most intense time of the year, we experience
with more than the physical senses. We have the opportunity to
experience our sense of belonging, sense of place, sense of hope,
sense of peace, and most definitely, our sense of humor. Our
journey through life is a matter of discovery, sharing, caring for
one another, and being the gift, more than receiving the gift.
Christmas may be the moment in time when we shine, but each of us
is a gift every day of our lives, and so is everyone we chance to
meet on this journey for which there is no road map. But we do have
each other, friend or stranger, to light the way. Hope you are
enchanted by the light, and that you are the light for others
during this season and every tomorrow. Hopefully, you will enjoy
these stories and make friends with each of these characters. Some
flawed, others scarred, but all are delightfully human.
