2nd EDITION (Read Dan's Note at Beginning and Only Most Recent Reviews - After 2020)
For the first time since their children were born, empty nesters Judith and Stan Winters spent Thanksgiving alone, without the kids and grandkids. It's looking like Christmas will be the same. Judith can hardly bear the thought and struggles even to decorate the house. But soon some wonderful and totally unexpected events turn things completely around, starting with that box of "ugly ornaments" (as Stan calls them). Could they be the key to rescuing their Christmas this year? A "beautifully written story" for the holiday season, or any time of the year.

Back Jacket

Stan opened the ugly ornaments box and pulled out the top three ornaments, the ones wrapped in green paper, the kids' favorites, and set them on the coffee table. He picked up the first one, the biggest one--Anna's blue pinecone--and began to unwrap it. Without thinking, Judith walked up, stopped him, and gently took it out of his hand. She wrapped it back up, set it carefully in the box. Then picked up the other two ornaments, put them in the box, and closed the flaps.
What's the matter?" Stan said. "Did I do something wrong?"
"I don't think I can do this.""
