It's 1931 in Bakersfield, California. America is in the midst of the Depression, and the Kamp family is struggling to get by, especially after Mrs. Kamp's untimely death. Now, with her mother gone and her father overwhelmed by doctor bills resulting from her brother's polio, little Ruthie expects another Christmas without presents or festivities. But when her father brings home one dollar in change and lets the children use it to buy special gifts for each other, the Kamp family comes to find that money isn't what makes Christmas full of joy, love, and miracles. This touching true story ... will remind you and your family of the simple joys in life and the importance of selflessness, gratitude, and charity.

Too many people have come to dread the approach of the holidays, a season that should -- and can -- be the most relaxed, intimate, joyful, and spiritual time of the year. In this book, Bill McKibben offers some suggestions on how to rethink Christmastime, so that our current obsession with present-buying becomes less important than the dozens of other possible traditions and celebrations. Working through their local churches, McKibben and his colleagues found that people were hungry for a more joyful Christmas season. For many, trying to limit the amount of money they spent at Christmas to about a hundred dollars per family, was a real spur to their creativity -- and a real anchor against the relentless onslaught of commercials and catalogs that try to say Christmas is only Christmas if it comes from a store. McKibben shows how the store-bought Christmas developed and how out of tune it is with our current lives, when we're really eager for family fellowship for community involvement, for contact with the natural world, and also for the blessed silence and peace that the season should offer. McKibben shows us how to return to a simpler and more enjoyable holiday. Christmas is too wonderful a celebration to give up on, too precious a time simply to repeat the same empty gestures from year to year. This book will serve as a road map to a Christmas far more joyful than the ones you've known in the past.

Little Gracie received a dollar bill from her grandparents on Christmas Day. Just before Christmas a year later, her beloved grandfather had a stroke and was dying. Gracie drew a small picture of the baby Jesus on the face of the Christmas Dollar and gave it to her grandfather. He added a few words on it and gave it to his wife, whose name is also Gracie, declaring his love for her. The cherished Christmas Dollar was later stolen by a murderous burglar who pitches the dollar bill in a dumpster where it was found by Sudsy Randolph, a homeless man. The dollar fell into other hands after Sudsy became critically ill. Grandma Gracie Christensen befriended Sudsy and learned that he had two children that he hadn't seen in over ten years and she initiated a nationwide search to locate them. What follows is tense drama, danger, and a couple of miracles, the last one involving the Christmas Dollar several years later and the now grown up Gracie.
