The Christmas season is one of seconds: searching for just another
second to be able to getting everything prepared, second helpings
at the holiday table, second thoughts about what it all means and
about relationships-and second chances to fulfill the meaningful in
gift giving and relationships. Christmas Seconds offers up a
five-story inspirational novella and five separate short stories
exploring the theme of "seconds." The novella titled Christmas
Seconds is of unexpected opportunities and second chances-and
snowballing effects-as a young couple that has been blessed with
health and security-and each other-is preparing to embark on a
long-delayed honeymoon cruise at Christmas time. As they prepare,
they and those they are encountering around them, discover that the
true meaning and gift of the season is right there at home-and is
in giving yourself away. The short story "Second Helping" is one of
hearing the message and quietly responding. "Second Glance" is one
of not looking in the right place for the spirit of Christmas-and
thus possibly overlooking a treasure. "Second Christmas" stresses
that the one getting the most presents isn't necessarily the
happiest one, and, similarly, "Seconds" shows that heartfelt gifts
may not be the showiest versions. The concluding story, "Second
Job," is a celebration of appreciation in the true Christmas
spirit. "Christmas Seconds" is Olivia's second book of
inspirational stories reminding us of, and celebrating, the true
spirit of Christmas, "Spirit of Christmas," also from Cyberworld
Publishing, is the other.
