    About this ebook

    A collection of short stories about the meaning of Christmas today.
    Every year we approach the miracle and the mystery of Christmas: God became human for us. This is what we celebrate, even if we sometimes forget it in the stress and hectic of the advent season. But how do we really prepare for Christmas? These stories for children and adults talk about stars and angels and miracles, and about us. Perhaps they are just a stories. But perhaps the one or the other thing happened just that way.
