Calm By The Christmas Tree Katie Burton

Christmas isn't a season; It's a feeling"- Edna FerberChristmas is a magical time of the year. In fact, some would go as far as to describe it as the most wonderful time of the year. One of the best parts about December is the build up to Christmas. Let your inner child be indulged, as you join author Katie Burton for her debut collection of short stories and pieces of flash fiction in the lead up to one of the busiest times of the year. Calm By The Christmas Tree invites readers to indulge in some reflective "me-time" once every few days, spacing each story out through the month of December, and allowing them the chance to reflect on the hope, love, and magic of the festive period. From lovers' tiffs, to making amends, and from old to young, each of Burton's protagonists are relatable in both character and the lessons they learn. Written for reading before bed, on your travels, or during a brief moment of peace with a comforting drink, these tales whisk you away to a world where Christmas is as magical and important as it was during your childhood. Despite the often painful realities of life, there is always a lesson to learn and a reason to celebrate.
