The Christmas Jars tradition:
“...one by one, family members will
empty their pockets and delight at the cling-clang of change hitting
the empty glass bottom. Most days will yield a quarter, a dime, perhaps
two nickels and a stray penny. Occasionally Mother will make change for
herself by drop- ping in a worn dollar bill and pulling out an
appropriate combination of cool silver coins. Over the months that
follow, the gathering change will leave no recognizable void.
Occasionally the temptation to borrow for laundry, a movie, or the
ice-cream truck will float through the house, over the jar, and out the
back door. But it never lands. The money is spoken for.” (Excerpt from
Christmas Jars, copyright 2005, published by Shadow Mountain.)
Christmas
Jars, a New York Times Bestselling novella by Jason Wright, first
became a phenomenon during the 2005 holiday season. Readers across
America reacted to the message of daily giving and sacrifice by creating
their own Christmas Jars.
Today, thousands of glass jars rest on
kitchen countertops, slowly collecting the spare change generated each
and every day. On Christmas Eve, each jar, now overflowing with both
money and goodwill, will anonymously find a new home. In turn, the
grateful recipients will put the money to good use in their lives and
begin their own jar. Thus hearts and lives are changed and the cycle
continues.
This short story follows in the tradition and spirit
of Christmas Jars. If you've read the original, you'll love this sweet
addition to the Christmas Jars family.
