What is the real meaning of Christmas? Every year priests, teachers and theologians struggle to answer this perennial question. The 15 heartwarming and uplifting stories in this book, beautifully illustrated by the acclaimed artist Don Conroy, may give the answer.

These stories will capture the imagination of all those who are young at heart, and unmask the reality of Christmas beyond the tinsel and the turkey.

This book was inspired by the tragic story of Jonathan Corrie who died homeless on the streets of Dublin before Christmas 2014 and by a desire to do something positive to respond to the sad reality that many thousands of people remain homeless this Christmas – an Irish equivalent of the original Christmas story where there was 'no room in the inn'.

All royalties from this book will go to the Peter McVerry Trust.
