The Most Wonderful Gift in the World by Mark Sperring  is a cute story about the true meaning of the holiday of Christmas, even if it also has secular elements and deals with Santa as well. Our friends, Esme and Bear, are excited for Christmas and their gifts. When they see the last gift, however, it is not for either of them; but for someone else.

Our First Christmas is actually a 435 page anthology […]
