Home for the Holidays: A Christmastime Anthology. &You Anthologies

A tender holiday collection of twelve short stories that explores the many ways we find our way back to each other, to ourselves, and to the places that feel like home. Whether through a grandmother's treasured Christmas Eve memory, a soldier's bittersweet homecoming, or simply strangers crossing paths in snow-covered towns, each tale captures the warmth, messiness, and quiet magic of belonging. In these pages, home isn't always a house; it's the sound of familiar laughter, the glow of shared traditions, the grace of second chances, and the courage to open your heart.
These stories remind us that "home" is found not in perfection but in connection. Featured stories and authors include: "A Place Called Family" by Caroline Baccene "The Advent-ures of Phoebe's Christmas Dwarf" by Nat Bickel "Back in Shape" by Cheryl Boughton "The Kindness Challenge" by Melissa Cate "Snowed Inn at Christmas" by Rick Ferguson "Comfort Zone and Joy" by Katie Fitzgerald "Christmas in the Woods" by Amy Hepp "Gramma's Christmas Eve" by Amy Kelly "Farolito" by yesenia monique "I'll Be Anywhere but Home for Christmas" by Morgan Matlow "Christmas on Canal Street" by Katherine Rea "A Holiday Homecoming" by Laura Turner Whether you're returning, rediscovering, or rebuilding, Home for the Holidays: A Christmastime Anthology invites you to settle in, light a candle, and remember that sometimes the best gifts are the people and places we carry inside us.
