Summary: Do you need a little Christmas, right now?
Review: As this book has two tales, they both need to be reviewed separately.

* Can this be Christmas?

This tale features an ensemble cast, a motley group of holiday travelers encounter one delay after another due to a huge snowstorm. Everyone had places to be, and people to see. All of the passengers are caught up in their own reasons for having to be where they have to be. The group gets stranded in a quaint train station. As people realize that they will not make their intended holiday destinations in time for the holidays, it brings out the essence of each person. Tempers flare. Eventually, they become resigned to spending the holiday together, and one contribution at a time, they build a great impromptu holiday situation.

* Shirley, Goodness and Mercy

This tale is like a cross between a modern "A Christmas Carol" and "It's a Wonderful Life". This is quite a bit lighter than either of those. If you like "Touched by an Angel" Or liked "Highway to Heaven", you will probably enjoy this tale. Greg Bennett has a cold empty life, and it's only getting worse. He is hitting bottom. He is reviewing all of the experiences in his life that have left him alone. Three angels are assigned to help him get his life together. With the guidance of these 3 mischievous angels he learns the magic of the holiday season, and transforms his whole life, just in time.
