Excerpt from Christmas Stories, Vol. 1 of 2: From "Household Words" And "All the Year Round" This is a sagacious remark. We are in a world not realised, and common sense has long bullied us out of any serious attempt to realise some Of its phenomena. Dickens was always much interested in stories which seem to suggest the existence Of supernormal human faculties, but he also lived in an age when spiritualistic quackeries were lead ing even distinguished men through a wilderness of night mares' nests. He therefore very judiciously kept a stern watch over his own mystical tendencies, and we Often Observe the contest between his sentiments and his common sense. Even to Forster, after all, he expresses his doubt as to whether he Should regard his experience at Genoa as a dream, or an actual Vision.

The gift of reading. There could not be a greater Christmas gift. Throughout history, I ask you what circumstances have compelled any and all would-be authors to put quills-to-parchments (or, in more recent generations, put fingertips-to-keyboards) to create their miasma of pages to be collected together and called a book? It's a good question and I haven't a clue as to any short, finite answer. I only know that there are lots and lots and lots of compelling circumstances. In my particular case, at an early age I found myself interested in the How? and Why? of things I had read about or heard about or saw. No doubt there have been others like me throughout history who have bumbled, stumbled and fumbled their way through life because they were looking through curious eyes - and not necessarily through practical, comprehending eyes. Let me tell you, one stumbles frequently when trying to get somewhere while looking upward rather than downward. But it is still a trip worth taking.... and while looking upward. In the late 1940s I heard on our family entertainment center (which in the late1940s was only an RCA Victor radio) Gene Autry singing the song, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and I was fascinated by the lyrics of the song. Yet I wanted to know, But why did Rudolph's nose glow? No answers to that question were forthcoming and the question remained in the catacombs of my memory for all the years thereafter. Once I had retired from my career and began to write serialized Christmas stories, I plucked the glowing nose dilemma from its dormancy and began to ask, What if.... In order to write this book's first Christmas story, the First Christmas Glowing, I felt compelled to examine (and for story purposes, hypothetically answer) the following What if's:- What if, say a hundred years ago or so, there had been a long-distance message runner making deliveries amongst neighboring villages in the Great Rift Valley of eastern Africa and what if, on one of his runs, the message-runner made a substantive discovery? - What if that substantive discovery, as found on the slope of an old volcano crater, would change Christmases forever and ever? - What if that discovery had something to do with the wing-flap speed of a certain kind of insect? - What if the message-runner put his substantive discovery into a small earthen jar and what if that jar over the course of the next sixty years found its way to a once well-traveled trunk in the home of the brother of a traveling circus entertainer named Maximillian? - What if Maximillian was the uncle of a young girl (his brother's daughter) who also lived in that home? - What if Uncle Max's young niece found the jar and years later would find herself positioned and prepared to come to the aid of one of the most important Christmasses of the 20th Century? - What if there are several other adventures along the way involving magic tricks, singing wolves, a Japanese fishing boat, and an intuitivie Inuit weatherman? - And, yes, what if there is a happy ending, and it is one that you know very well...and certainly have even sung about? In order to write this book's second Christmas story, A Long-Distance Christmas Greeting, I had to answer a whole raft of completely different What if's . and that is because the second story has resulted from my memory of an incident that occurred in the mid 1950s. the remembered incident occurred somewhere on the east coast of the United States and involved some historical society or a university or a city council or something-or-other creating a time capsule, filled with objects. the objects were something like tooth paste, Argyle sox, automobile hubcaps, and square-dance instructions, all to be hermetically sealed, buried, and not opened for a hundred years or so... something to provide clear evidence as to how the residents of our country lived back in the 1950s. I liked that idea, but at the time I was curious about the assembling of rockets capable of travelling into deep space.... so I wondered, What If we put a time capsule (full of stuff) into a rocket and fired it into space in no particular direction? Story #2 comprises my hypothetical answers to that What If. - What if there was a clairvoyant great-great grandmother who loved to drink coffee on her beloved Island of Molokai and who kept being awakened by a recurring dream? - What if that dream woke her up at the same time every evening and what if the dream consisted of something unknown moving through darkness, at a high speed, and with an unknown purpose? - What if an overly-adventuresome African Gray Parrot escaped from an aviary in a zoo in Vienna, Austria and began a sort of Roots trip? - What if the parrot's grandfather had made an indelible and unforgettable impact on a battlefield during a World War? - What if an elementary school student on an excursion to Mount Palomar saw something in a telescope that intrigued the entire world? - What role could a chartreuse micro bus or a poetic corn broker from Dubuque, Iowa have on a world-changing event? - What if we were given the opportunity to learn more about what is out there beyond our universe? the two 'tis-the-season stories of this Almost True Christmas Stories (Vol 1) book are both fun-filled adventures which also inform, enlighten and entertain readers (of all ages, i. e. from 9 to 99) about life and the pursuit of happiness These thought-provoking and discussion-inspiring stories are intended to be read by children, parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, sisters and brothers - and, as important, they are intended to be read to the younger children in families in order to help to instill an interest in reading about where our world is now, where it has been in the past, and where it is going in the future. Again, there could not be a better Christmas gift

An Esquire “Best Christmas Book to Read During the Holidays” A collection of Christmas stories written by African-American journalists, activists, and writers from the late 19th century to the modern civil rights movement. Back in print for the first time in over a decade, this landmark collection features writings from well-known black writers, activists, and visionaries such as Pauline Hopkins, Langston Hughes, and John Henrik Clarke along with literary gems from rediscovered writers. Originally published in African American newspapers, periodicals, and journals between 1880 and 1953, these enchanting Christmas tales are part of the black literary tradition that flourished after the Civil War. Edited and assembled by esteemed historian Dr. Bettye Collier-Thomas, the short stories and poems in this collection reflect the Christmas experiences of everyday African Americans and explore familial and romantic love, faith, and more serious topics such as racism, violence, poverty, and racial identity. Featuring the best stories and poems from previous editions along with new material including “The Sermon in the Cradle” by W. E. B. Du Bois, A Treasury of African American Christmas Stories celebrates a rich storytelling tradition and will be cherished by readers for years to come.
