Bits of mowed grass clung to her feet and ankles as she and the other goose fleshed nudists hopped about, trying to keep warm, waiting for the morning sun to break through the chill or for Elsa to start beating on the tom-toms.

If I had missed reading "Keeping Christmas" by Dan Walsh, I would have felt so sad. The novel is totally down to earth. It's mainly about Judith and Stan Winters. There adult children and grandchildren can't make it home for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Judith is really missing the family. It's a holiday book about real feelings, friendship and memories. Isn't it funny how men can just go on with their hobbies and accept what's going on? I suppose men have to pretend to be strong.

Can such large animals make good pets? Can they teach us lessons of life like cats or dogs? I didn't think about the shortcomings of horses either. Some of the authors of the stories talk about injuries, etc. The next time I see or pet a horse I think my feelings will have become deeper and healthier because of this book. I especially enjoyed the story about the old white mare. She is thirty years old. At the end of the story, the horse's age is not a thought.
