In 1992, in lieu of an ordinary Christmas card or gift, Emmett Loverde wrote a short story which he mailed to his family and friends in booklet form. The gift was so well-received that Mr. Loverde made it his annual tradition and has so far authored ten tales of humor, wonder, and imagination. All the stories embody the Christmas spirit of giving and friendship. Talking animals, cars, toys, and home appliances live comfortably alongside teenagers from outer space, zany mailmen, pushy salesmen, and even Santa Claus himself in a delightful holiday collection that children and adults will treasure all year long.
