Book Overview
The true meaning of Christmas emerges in these stories about reunited families, good fellowship, and restored faith. This is not to say that all is sugar candy. The mother in the title story faces a lonely Christmas in an empty house--but then something quite ordinary but miraculous happens. In "The Drum Goes Dead," a small-town bank cashier, a solid citizen and sterling friend, is dispirited by hard times until he discovers, through his own resources, that it is indeed a wonderful life.
Here are nine other holiday stories, by turns dramatic, humorous, and inspirational. The closing piece recalls the author's childhood in Iowa. Bess Streeter Aldrich is well remembered for A Lantern in Her Hand, from which Christmas on the Prairie is reprinted, and Spring Came On Forever.

My favorite Christmas book.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This is by far my favorite book to read during the Christmas season. It is a special collection of short stories each one special and unique. Each story has touched my heart in it's own way. I found this book many years ago in an old suitcase. It was among many other old books. Every year at Christmas this is the first book I turn to. The messege is the same but each story has a way of telling it that is both refreshing and unusual. Thank you Bess for enriching my life. Dave
