| Summary: | Move over, Dickens-America's favorite storyteller has written a modern Christmas story for the ages. Every year at Christmastime, Will and Ella Sullivan, and their father, Henry, come to a family agreement: Christmas is a holiday for other people. At their brownstone in Harlem, stockings go unstuffed, tinsel unstrewn, gifts unbought, mistletoe unhung, chestnuts unroasted, carols unplayed, cookies uncooked, a tree un-visible, and guests uninvited. Until guests start arriving anyway. In pairs and sixes, in sevens and tens-they keep coming. And they stay. For twelve long, hard, topsy-turvy, very messy days. That's when the Sullivans discover that those moments in life that defy hope, expectation, or even imagination, might be the best gifts of all. |

| Author Notes: | Tad Safran is a storyteller. He has written them for TV, film, podcasts, newspapers and books, always with the same goal: to entertain, intrigue and amuse. He lives at the top of a hill with his wife and twin sons who make every day like Christmas Day, i.e. messy, noisy, exhausting and quite wonderful. |
