An Off-White Christmas

An Off-White Christmas features a dozen stories all set on or around Christmas, though, with little to no clear religious emphasis. Instead, these stories explore life changes and choices and chaos in times of heightened drama, when family and friends and life partners merge to form cohesive units, happy or otherwise.

The stories range from a gambling spree in Las Vegas to a caravan traveling to Baraboo; from a teepee hotel in Kentucky to a retro movie theatre in Arizona; from a jolly Santa lookalike to a frustrated Dickensian actor; from students to retirees.

Christmas, in these stories, is a character as much as a setting - it acts upon and with plot to create tension, but each story is unique. It’s hardly all sugar plums and pure white flakes, but always, there’s that hope. Just as the notion of a “white Christmas” evokes well-worn traditions of the holiday, these dozen “unwhite Christmas” stories introduce potential traditions that could expand and augment the Christmas spirit.

My kind of Christmas!

Not your Norman Rockwell postcard Christmas but loving, funny, and (off) white. Excellent narration rounds out the experience.
