Free Inspirational True Christmas Story

November 14, 2014 by Jeanne

Some fantabulous bloggers have gone together to do a Fantabulous Christmas Favorites Linky Party!

The hosts of this blog hop have their posts linked up to the beginning of the linky at the bottom of this post. You can link up your own Christmas posts below, and we will pin many of them to our Pintabulous Mom’s Christmas Favorites Pinterest Board.

Christmas blog hop with so many great Christmas ideas!

Christmas is my favorite time of the year, and this year I thought I’d start a new tradition – a free Christmas short story for all of my readers! Each Christmas starting in 2014, I’ll publish at least one free short ebook via Smashwords. You can download it and read it on any ebook reader or download an Adobe Acrobat PDF ebook to print at home or read on your computer. It’s absolutely free, no strings attached.

This year’s ebook….

The Christmas Fox

Download your free copy from Smashwords or wherever fine ebooks are sold.

One cold December night, I headed down to the barn where I boarded my horse on Long Island. I was cranky, tired, and had about as much Christmas spirit as Ebeneezer Scrooge. But a magical encounter with a wild fox showed me how to regain the peace of the season.  In this short true story, I share the encounter with the Christmas fox, and what it meant to me.

Enjoy!

 

 You can go to the following blogs to see their Christmas posts and to link up your own posts:

And, whoever planted this corner for pollinators also loves…
