Chestnuts roasting on an open fire and the beauty of the evergreen tree have long established their iconic place in yuletide lyrics. While they help to enkindle the materialistic aspects of the holiday, one cannot help but wonder what has happened to the divine proclamation, 'Glory to God in the Highest, Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Men'? Given rise to the ever increasing global turmoil, it seems that these latter ingredients have drastically diminished, thus altering the true meaning of Christmas within ourselves. Weaving spirituality, humor, intelligence, insight - - and most of all love into the fabric of human experience, the author has written an anthology of short stories that embrace the true essence of Christmas. No matter what your age, if you love Christmas you will love Christmas Pie.
