Do you enjoy reading stories that touch your heart?

Then Timeless Christmas Short Stories are perfect for you.

Good storytelling captures our imagination, opens our mind to a world of possibilities, and sometimes serves as a trip down memory lane.

Timeless Christmas Short Stories are a time machine whose goal is to show us how values such as: generosity, hard work, responsibility, and hope were as important 100 years ago as they are today.

This book includes the following features:

  • Curated personal Christmas anecdotes as an introduction
  • 12 Christmas short stories organized by theme
  • Christmas tradition origins as a bonus
  • Beautiful vintage Christmas pictures
  • Active table of contents so you can go to any story
  • Clean formatting, giving you full control over font types and sizes
Timeless Christmas Short Stories contains:

Stories of generosity
There is no better way to start this journey into the past than with tales of generosity. The act of being generous is not a current phenomenon, and to show us how this message was conveyed 100 years ago, we have two beautiful stories:
  • Papa Panov - Leo Tolstoy, Ruben Saillans
  • Story of Christ Child - Elizabeth Harrison
Stories of reward from hard work
The message that hard work and responsibility are a must to reach our goals is timeless. Hard work is needed not only to obtain monetary rewards but also to improve yourself as a person. We have four stories that teach us how our life can change for the better if you work on it:
  • Becky's Christmas Dream - Louisa May Alcott
  • Toinette and the Elves - Susan Coolidge
  • The Shepherd who Didn't Go - Jay T Stocking
  • Mother Holle - Brothers Grimm
Stories of innocence and hope
To be able to look at the challenges of life through a child's eyes can change how we view ourselves and treat others. Thanks to Louisa May Alcott and Elizabeth Harrison, we will be able to get in touch with our inner child and instill hope in our lives.
  • Little Gretchen and the Wooden Shoe - Elizabeth Harrison
  • Tilly's Christmas - Louisa May Alcott
Miscellaneous
This book ends with four short stories from various authors that share different messages such as the dangers of being conceited and the importance of showing gratitude:
  • Christmas Everyday - William Dean Howells
  • Christmas in Seventeen Seventy-Six - Anne Hollingsworth Wharton
  • A Christmas Star - Katherine Pyle
  • The Elves and the Shoemaker - Brothers Grimm

Three Amigos Publishing wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
