Christmas Traditions at Grace Chapel Inn — Sunni Jeffers

A collection of three novellas celebrating the beauty of Christmas at Grace Chapel Inn

It's Christmas morning, and as the Howard sisters celebrate some of their family's treasured traditions, they reminisce about Christmases past.

Jane reads from the Bible, as their father always did, and remembers when she took part in a living Nativity. Cast as an angel, she decided to make her part more exciting, resulting in a dangerous fall from a hayloft. She should have been seriously injured, but a Christmas miracle changed the course of her life. Louise studies the badly constructed stocking she made for her newborn daughter Cynthia and recalls her first Christmas as a mother. And Alice examines the special ornament she received the year she organized a program to give all the animals from a nearby shelter a home for Christmas.

The novellas capture a sense of nostalgia and the ideal of a good old-fashioned Christmas.
