1225 Mistletoe Lane Lenny Castellaneta
Christmas 2000: a blissful time when Y2K mania was gleefully recalled as farcical overreaction, and Yankee fans everywhere were still reveling in the aftermath of the Subway Series. On the surface, there's little reason for native New Yorker Jim Carrelli, now a left-coaster, to be so miserable. But he has dragged a lot of baggage into the new millennium, and it's weighing on him as heavily as Jacob Marley's chain. Feeling no pain during an outing to his favorite watering hole, Jim spills his guts, revealing the source of his mounting misanthropy to his neighbor Galen, a loquacious mysterious older gentleman with unusual taste in automobiles and haberdashery. Digging past Jim's selfishness and Long Island parochialism to discover a good heart underneath, Galen makes him an offer of a lifetime. Brimming with nostalgic humor and sharp cultural commentary, 1225 Mistletoe Lane adds a contemporary twist to a hallowed holiday theme and reaffirms the Dickensian notion that we are all just "fellow passengers to the grave."

Band of the Hand: Freshman Year Creed Ludwig
Xavier McTall, Chelsea Lambert, Colby Lyons, Andy Wolff and Amara Creed are five extraordinary teenagers, handpicked to carry on a decades-old tradition. The Band of the Hand, formed in 1947 by the five most unlikely co-conspirators imaginable, exists to prank, pester and peeve those who use their power to persecute the peons of Centralia High School. Five freshmen, each selected for his or her singular specialty, with nearly eight decades of continuing support from former members, take on the injustices of the secondary education system. With the help of the mysterious “Mr. Sage,” the tradition continues. Meet this year’s version of the Band of the Hand: Xavier, the 11-year-old computer genius and social misfit; Chelsea, the studious animal-lover with a weakness for jazz; Colby, the daredevil punk rocker prodigy with an aptitude for foreign languages and a penchant for getting into trouble; Andy Wolff, the star athlete; and Amara, the “Girl Most Likely to Be Perfect.” The freshmen pranksters target their talents toward Vice Principal Arnold “the Pig” Riggs—a mean-spirited, malicious miscreant who despises teenagers and whose favorite target is Colby Lyons. It’s all fun and games until Andy’s father is arrested for a crime he didn’t commit, and the Band of the Hand must use their considerable resources and their extraordinary expertise to reveal the true culprit.

Buds Of Blossoming Trees, The Nicholas A. Caputo
My beautiful wife, Phyllis Ann, loved the Christmas holidays. Our home looked like a toy store, every nook and cranny crammed with her hidden bounty, to be distributed on that special day. Her desire for giving was unusual, as it was not just her family she gave to, but also to strangers she saw in need. On Christmas Eve, everyone but Phyllis Ann would go to bed early. She would wrap presents all night until the wee hours of the morning, then insisted upon doing all the chores of cooking and cleaning herself on Christmas day. I asked why she insisted upon wrapping presents during the early morning hours. She smiled and said, “It’s quiet, without interruptions, then at three o’clock I put the radio on low and listen to the story of Scrooge. I feel I’m living in that era, and can feel the people’s plight of existing in poverty. “ A beautiful woman with a loving heart, as big as Heaven itself.

Christianity and Christmas Traditions: Putting Christ Back Into Christmas Rev. Jesse D. Shaw
For years, people have become more and more disillusioned with the celebration of Christmas. They end up rushing through the season trying to do everything expected. The charity-seekers are at every merchant’s door, children are demanding expensive gifts from Santa, and when it is over everyone breathes a sigh of relief. Once again, the children have everything they wanted, social obligations have been met, our pocketbooks are empty — and so are our hearts. Once again in the hustle and bustle of the season, Christ has been forgotten. This fascinating presentation takes us step by step through history to show how over time we have come to the point of celebrating Santa, gifts, trees, and glitter. It then explains how we can enjoy our Christmas traditions and still have a holiday that reflects the true meaning of the season, leaving us full of love, hope, and joy as we put Christ back into Christmas.
