The stories are heartwarming without being overly sentimental, calling to mind the true spirit of Christmas, and the warmth to be found in sharing with families of the heart. It would be difficult to choose just one story as a favorite, although "Once Upon a Christmas Wish" might have my vote. The tale of "Santa and the Lumberjacks" is rather amusing, done in tall-tale fashion. "The Hungry Christmas Guest" will leave a smile on your face, as each of the stories will.

Christmas Quilt Anthology is a collection of charming short stories, poems and letters. Many of the offerings have a very personal feel, which is appropriate since most of the collection started as Christmas greetings to Ms. Baldwin’s family and friends. "The Christmas Quilt," the introductory story that lends its name to the anthology, will wrap you in warmth.
