Book Description
The gift of reading. There could not be a greater Christmas gift. Throughout history, I ask you what circumstances have compelled any and all would-be authors to put quills-to-parchments (or, in more recent generations, put fingertips-to-keyboards) to create their miasma of pages to be collected together and called a book? It s a good question and I haven t a clue as to any short, finite answer. I only know that there are lots and lots and lots of compelling circumstances. In my particular case, at an early age I found myself interested in the How? and Why? of things I had read about or heard about or saw. No doubt there have been others like me throughout history who have bumbled, stumbled and fumbled their way through life because they were looking through curious eyes - and not necessarily through practical, comprehending eyes. Let me tell you, one stumbles frequently when trying to get somewhere while looking upward rather than downward. But it is still a trip worth taking .and while looking upward. In the late 1940s I heard on our family entertainment center (which in the late1940s was only an RCA Victor radio) Gene Autry singing the song, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and I was fascinated by the lyrics of the song. Yet I wanted to know, But why did Rudolph s nose glow? No answers to that question were forthcoming and the question remained in the catacombs of my memory for all the years thereafter. Once I had retired from my career and began to write serialized Christmas stories, I plucked the glowing nose dilemma from its dormancy and began to ask, What if . In order to write this book s first Christmas story, The First Christmas Glowing, I felt compelled to examine (and for story purposes, hypothetically answer) the following What if s : - What if, say a hundred years ago or so, there had been a long-distance message runner making deliveries amongst neighboring villages in the Great Rift Valley of eastern Africa and what if, on one of his runs, the message-runner made a substantive discovery? - What if that substantive discovery, as found on the slope of an old volcano crater, would change Christmases forever and ever? - What if that discovery had something to do with the wing-flap speed of a certain kind of insect? - What if the message-runner put his substantive discovery into a small earthen jar and what if that jar over the course of the next sixty years found its way to a once well-traveled trunk in the home of the brother of a traveling circus entertainer named Maximillian? - What if Maximillian was the uncle of a young girl (his brother s daughter) who also lived in that home? - What if Uncle Max s young niece found the jar and years later would find herself positioned and prepared to come to the aid of one of the most important Christmasses of the 20th Century? - What if there are several other adventures along the way involving magic tricks, singing wolves, a Japanese fishing boat , and an intuitivie Inuit weatherman? - And, yes, what if there is a happy ending, and it is one that you know very well and certainly have even sung about? In order to write this book s second Christmas story, A Long-Distance Christmas Greeting, I had to answer a whole raft of completely different What if s . And that is because the second story has resulted from my memory of an incident that occurred in the mid 1950s. The remembered incident occurred somewhere on the east coast of the United States and involved some historical society or a university or a city council or something-or-other creating a time capsule, filled with objects. The objects were something like tooth paste, Argyle sox, automobile hubcaps, and square-dance instructions, all to be hermetically sealed, buried, and not opened for a hundred years or so... something to provide clear evidence as to how the residents of our country lived back in the 1950s. I liked that idea, but at the time I was curious about the assembling of
