Delving into a real funk, Judith's depression is denying her the right to enjoy the holidays. Even decorating the house and tree for Christmas, and it's especially unbearable to take out the "ugly ornaments" that took years and years for her children to make. Stan and his friend Barney continue their normal routine in Mount Dora, Florida, planning the purchase of their new fishing boat, at first oblivious to the depth of Judith's depression. Every effort only seems to land her further and further in depression. It will take an extreme sacrifice by Stan to give her the only gift that will bring her out of her suffering.

I have not had the pleasure of reading any stories written by Dan Walsh before but have to say I couldn't have been more impressed with this man's ability to create such a touching tale. KEEPING CHRISTMAS is definitely one of those poignant and beautiful stories that will last forever. No one could have written a story with more feeling or emotion than Dan Walsh has. I am extremely touched by this real "tear-jerker" and hope to read more from this astounding author.
