B.J. Hoff starts the season with a wonderful idea:

“In keeping with the idea of giving gifts, though, I’ve been thinking about what a writer—in particular a Christian writer—might consider as practical gifts for readers, not only during the Christmas season but year-round. Unable to resist playing with the idea, I took each letter of “Christmas” to find appropriate “gifts” a writer’s work might bring to his/her readers. Because there are certain elements a reader might expect to find when reading the efforts of a writer who also claims to be Christian, don’t you think?”
