    About this ebook

    I have enjoyed writing and creating my own Christmas / Holiday cards for many years. This booklet contains a collection of 22 of those observations or 1,834 words, prayers, wishes and thoughts on the Holidays. I hope that you enjoy them as much as I enjoy writing.

    Steven Olofson

    I am a Central Susquehanna Valley (Pennsylvania) musician, artist, actor and self-proclaimed Jack-of-all-trades yet Master of None. I enjoy long walks on the beach... oops, wrong profile. While I acknowledge that I should not give up my day job, I love writing poetry, watercolor painting, woodworking, playing guitar and singing. I have appeared on stage in multiple theatrical productions, was a co-producer of the acclaimed Susquehanna Valley Holiday CD in 2008. I have several recordings on my YouTube channel and I have been a featured soloist with various groups. and that is probably more than you wanted to know.

      The Christmas season is a mystical one. For me, listening to Christmas carols always adds to the magic, and “Good King Wenceslas” stands out. Its beautiful story of a Christmas miracle dates back centuries. It may not be the most popular carol. But i
