CHRISTMAS COMES BUT ONCE A DAY

Memories and inspiring meditations on Christmas in the Deep South. An appreciation of the goodwill and joy that the IDEA of Christmas brings to most people, be they Christian, Jew, Muslim, believer or non-believer. Author Jim Reed believes that Christmas-like holidays are celebrated in most cultures in one form or other, just because people need a few hours each year to suspend all unpleasantness and dwell upon the wonderful things that the world can offer. His words encourage us to open ourselves up to the peace and hope that these holidays can bring.
