Kerstverhalen / Christmas stories

The writer: ‘Everything about Christmas is different. We bring a tree into our house and light candles everywhere. Christmas is a time for family. A festival of light. We enjoy good food and good conversations.

Christmas is also a time for stories. About joy, and sometimes also about sorrow. About things that happen, about things for which a solution is not always obvious. And sometimes it can be difficult to grasp the Christmas ambience. A good Christmas story that is read aloud can help. There are not many Christmas stories that more or less let go of the pure Christian experience.’

This book consists of warm stories that all have something to do with Christmas. Some are suitable for children and others more for adults, but they all carry an inherent message that is all about people and their experiences. They are light stories, smooth and easily accessible, with a hint of reflection, emotion and humour.
