The other day I was having "one of those kinds of days."
Everything seemed to be going wrong.
So I curled up on the couch, grabbed this book, and disappeared into the world of Christmas enchantment.
My heart was softened, my spirit was lifted, and I was comforted by the One who is Christmas.

You will read about:
* "YOJ" to the world
