Five Christmas Stories is a collection of fiction to whet the reader’s appetite for the Christmas season and what Christians hold dear. From loss to understanding, from fear to hope, from bitter to sweet, and perhaps moving the veil aside to glimpse God at work in the subtlest of ways, this book is a stocking stuffer of warmth.

The author wrote these seven stories over several years for his grandchildren. Each has a happy ending with a little moral message. These stories vary from children and lost dogs to young men on their horses looking for gold. These stories will take the reader from Poletown, a Detroit neighborhood of Polish immigrants, to the Black Hills of the Dakota Territory, to a New York art gallery, and to points in between. The timelines are from the 1870s to the present. How we face the challenges that life gives us is what is most important.

This work is a collection of five short stories, which were inspired by the many selfless, random acts of kindness and caring, which were extended to others by simple, everyday people in ordinary places, and the positive and profound effect those deeds had on their lives. The book highlights that higher nature of humanity, "our better nature," which we all aspire to, and it is the author's intention to raise these unsung heroes out of obscurity and present them in the light of their overwhelming generosity. These are uplifting stories about life, love, faith and family; about compassion and caring, sorrow and joy; about loss and tragedy; about unfortunate endings and hopeful new beginnings. They are masterfully told in the backdrop of the Christmas season, charged with elements of magic and wonder, revealing fascinating twists and turns. These tales, while fanciful, are true, and save for a touch of color, they are delivered to the reader exactly the way they happened. Alas, those who play out their parts in these pages will know the truth of it. As these tales were given to the author, so he gives them to you and your family. It is the author's expressed wish that you are richly entertained and that these stories may serve to elevate and inspire.
