Christmas Stories


I've gotten a few requests via e-mail for the Christmas-related stories that I wrote that I posted links to here last year, so I've put them up in a special era of my non-AOL site, here. The stories in question are the poem "Jackie Jones and Melrose Mandy," which is about a bossy little girl who thinks getting a certain toy will change her life, and the short story "Sarah's Sister," which is a Christmas tale about love and family that I pretty much guarantee will get you choked up. Enjoy in all their seasonal goodness.
