A Christmas Story

by Capt. Tom Parker, Marvin Paracuelles (Illustrator)

Overview

A Christmas Story is about a typical American family who celebrates a traditional Christmas season. It is intended to instruct children in some basic fire safety practices, but the jest of the story is in the ornament characters that come alive each Christmas. These characters lie dormant in the attic most of the year but magically become animate to share the joy of Christmas with their host family, the Morriss. I hope to touch the readers heart with the love and dedication shared by the characters and their family.
