    About this ebook

    Looking for a thoughtful gift that will be cherished for many Christmases to come? Socks for Christmas is the little red book that has touched countless lives. In the late 1960s, New York Times bestselling author Andy Andrews thought he was having a very good Christmas… until he got socks from his Aunt Ruth--unarguably a very lousy gift.

    How could he know that those lousy socks would change Christmas and him forever!

    Socks for Christmas is great for all ages and will give your family an instant Christmas tradition. This timeless holiday book:

    • Teaches lessons on gratitude, giving, and understanding others during the season
    • Inspires hearts and brings families together
    • Stirs nostalgia, tradition, and joy in any heart at Christmas time

    Socks for Christmas is a:

    • Safe gift for a boss, co-worker, or employee
    • Thoughtful gift for a family member or loved one
    • A great option for gift exchanges

    Whether you read it yourself or listen to Andy on the CD (included with your purchase), Socks for Christmas is a great way to kick off the season.

      Tis The Season To SLOW DOWN
