In this charming prequel to the novels Fireflies Of Summer and Parallax Reflections, the adult narrator Jeff Vetch dreams on Christmas Eve of his early teenage years in his beloved hometown, where he remembers the Christmas tree in the toy shop window. Each of the ornaments reflects a scene he relives from his childhood. When he awakens from his dream, Jeff has a new appreciation for his life, his memories and his future. He is a changed man, a better man, for it.
