Summary

There is a big old sledding hill not more than two or three good snowballs' worth of distance from our home, just behind Hank Macabee's house. That hill was waiting for me and my brand new toboggan. It's one of those sneak-up kind of hills with a long slow ride down that picks up speed as it goes with a bump-hump at the end that you never see coming. I didn't see what was coming next, either. The Christmas tree crashed through Hank Macabee's bay window. The tree stand clattered behind it and bounced with a clank on Hank's half-frozen front lawn.

Hank came through the door with a shotgun in hand. He wore a Nova Scotia plaid bathrobe and a pair of fuzzy, blue Smurf slippers. He pumped and blasted the Christmas tree, shattering the decorations that escaped the initial picture window caber toss. He continued pumping and blasting until his shotgun ran dry....

WHY is Hank Macabee shooting his Christmas tree? Grab a copy today of these two surprisingly heart-warming tales and find out for yourself.

Enjoyable Short Stories

Two seasonal short stories brought together in one enjoyable package, this is a festive treat for all. The first tale focuses on just why a neighbour might be shooting a Christmas tree outside, whilst the second focuses on a couple of siblings imagining that horrible things are happening to Santa on Christmas Eve. Both are enjoyable and the narration of the audiobook is excellent.

Full disclosure: I received a copy of this tale on Audible at no cost in exchange for a fair and honest review.
