Christmas

Christmas doesn’t always arrive with trumpets and celebration.

Sometimes it comes quietly—through a small act of kindness, a familiar tradition, or a humble place where someone chooses to make room.

In this heartwarming collection, MG “Doc” Woodworth invites readers into three unforgettable Christmas stories that celebrate wonder, belonging, and the true meaning of the season. From a lonely Christmas cookie longing to be seen, to a cherished doll whose story is rooted in family memory, to a humble stable transformed into holy ground, each tale reminds us that the most important moments often happen in the simplest places.

Written for children but treasured by readers of all ages, these stories are meant to be shared aloud, read by the glow of the Christmas tree, and returned to year after year. Together, they form a gentle invitation—to slow down, to listen, and to remember what Christmas is really about.

Because when hearts are open and love makes room, even the quietest night can change the world.

Holiday Mission

Something strange is happening to the holidays.

At the Miller family’s house, small arguments are growing bigger, laughter is fading faster, and a shadowy force known as the Murk is quietly feeding on frustration and hurt. The holidays—once full of joy—are starting to lose their light.

High above it all, a secret team of holiday guardians sees the danger coming. With the year slipping away and November growing darker, they launch a daring plan: guide the Miller children through every holiday—one celebration at a time—to help their family remember what truly matters.

From New Year’s cookies to Valentine’s Day laughs, Easter surprises, summer fireworks, and a Christmas filled with light, Ellie and Ben discover that courage doesn’t always look like bravery—and love doesn’t always look like agreement.

Sometimes, saving the holidays means saving each other.

The Last Ornament

Margaret has spent her life in motion.

Born on an Iowa farm during the Great Depression, shaped by war, loss, and ambition, she learned early how to take control—how to rise to challenges, how to endure, how to keep moving forward. She flew planes when few women did, built a family, buried the people she loved, and learned how to be strong even when strength cost her.

Now, as Advent begins, Margaret knows this will be her final Christmas.

With her children unaware of her diagnosis and her home soon to be sold, she chooses a quieter preparation. One ornament each day. Twelve days. Twelve memories. Each ornament draws her back through love and grief, faith and fear, ambition and surrender—inviting her to face what she has spent a lifetime managing.

As Christmas approaches, Margaret discovers that faith is not about rising to one last challenge, but about learning to rest. Not about control, but trust. Not about flying the journey herself, but letting God take the lead.

The Last Ornament is a reflective Christian novella about Advent, remembrance, and the grace found when a strong soul finally learns how to let go—and be carried home.
