Kids will love watching the tree move from home to home, and families will appreciate the subtle message of conservation and recycling, as the tree top spreads joy to all. This heartwarming story, in print since 1963, is the perfect way to start the yuletide season, and a warm addition to any family's festive holiday traditions.

Hijuelos' novel tells the story of Mr. Ives, who was adopted from a foundling's home as a child. When we first meet him in the 1950s, Mr. Ives is very much a product of his time. He has a successful career in advertising, a wife and two children, and believes he is on his way to pursuing the typical American dream. But the dream is shattered when his son Robert, who is studying for the priesthood, is killed violently at Christmas. Overwhelmed by grief and threatened by a loss of faith in humankind, Mr. Ives begins to question the very foundations of his life. Part love story--of a man for his wife, for his children, for God--and part meditation on how a person can find spiritual peace in the midst of crisis, Mr. Ives' Christmas is a beautifully written, tender and passionate story of a man trying to put his life in perspective. In the expert hands of Oscar Hijuelos, the novel speaks eloquently to the most basic and fulfilling aspects of life for all of us.

A story that helps us see the unique goodness in each person. Every town has its secrets. When it becomes known that Mr. Nicholas, the eccentric owner of the local hardware store, is somehow involved with reindeer, toys, and children, the town becomes more and more suspicious that this man is more than just a clerk on Main Street. JB, a clever, open ten-year-old boy with Down syndrome, is able to figure out the secret from the first time Mr. Nicholas gives him a chocolate deer wrapped in gold foil. JB’s father and mother, both cynical and on the brink of divorce, follow the adventures of JB as he flies on the back of a reindeer, feeds Mister Rogers’s fish, and defines what can be forgotten by those who are too busy to remember the magic of Christmas, cuckoo-clocks, and love.

Welcome to Christmas Grove, where holiday magic and matchmaking are in the air. When Rex Holiday walks into the charming town of Christmas Grove, all he plans to do is to spend the season helping out at his buddy's Christmas tree farm. What he doesn't expect is for an overzealous matchmaker to slip a love potion into his cider. But the joke's on the resident matchmaker, because not even a potent love spell can break through the walls he's built around his heart. But when the girl next door catches his eye, some of his barriers start to crumble. Still, Rex Holiday's time in Christmas Grove is only temporary. He can't afford to fall in love. Or can he? Holly Reineer is a powerful spirit witch who can see the future for everyone. Everyone but herself that is. And when Rex Holiday walks into her life, she sees his, too. He's destined for a big corporate job all the way across the country. So when he starts to show interest in her, she knows it's only temporary, and Holly's not interested in a fling. She wants her happily-ever-after. But he's very hard to resist... Can a love spell rewrite the future? If so, Holly will need to learn to follow her heart and, for once, trust what she can't see.
