The Magical Christmas Cookies - Tapa blanda

Loss seemed to surround the town of Maple Valley, until they were blessed by cookies, Magical Christmas Cookies. When Laura Davidson and Holly Robinson teamed up to sell the sweet treats, wondrous things began to happen, even the weather changed. As Holly’s ten-year-old niece, Vanessa, said, “Maybe the magic of the Christmas cookies isn’t so much in the cookies themselves, but the way people act after eating them.” A nibble of compassion here, a taste of forgiveness there, and icing made of hope did what nothing else was able to do. It brought Christmas Magic to Maple Valley. This short story by Merri Hiatt has a word count of approximately 11,600.
