The listing, CAN THIS BE CHRISTMAS? has ended.
December 24. A shabby train depot in a small New Hampshire town. A group of people is stranded theons still and snowy night, their beautifully wrapped gifts piled uselessly around them. Can this be Christmas?
No hopes and dreams are met tonight as they spend Christmas Eve with strangers instead of the people they love. Anticipated joy becomes disappointment; excitement becomes despair.
Then the depot's elderly reservations clerk brings them a small, leftover tree. Local kids come caroling. Families deliver food for the hungry travelers. And it's beginning to feel like Christmas!
Sharing Christmas cookies and stories and presents, hanging makeshift decorations on the tree, these strangers discover the real magic of Christmas. They open their hearts to each other, and for a few hours they're family.
PS: This wonderful little book was purchased at a library sale. Despite the library labels that are located on the back cover and the inside covers of this small, hardcover book, this book is in very good shape!
