Written with warmth and wit, these tales capture the joy, challenges, and small miracles the season. It is a book about Christmas Past - with memories sweet and bittersweet -- and about Christmas Present - reflections on artificial trees and artificial intelligence -- and about Christmas Future-how our dark times may be lightened by the Christmas spirit. It is a fun read because Christmas should have \"room for ideas as loopy as flying reindeer.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"... the writing is often charming, intimate and inviting... Zacny dances nimbly from musings about animal rights and the ramifications of quantum computing to 'the way the miraculous comes alive around Christmas.'\" -- Kirkus Reviews \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e[This book] has become a rich staple for me to read each December... Each letter is wildly different. Some are memories of a midwestern childhood. Some are the experiences of his family. Some are life lessons borne from many places and times. They are treasures; subtle yet moving, humorous and profound. -- Jane Nash, Artist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gary Zacny\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798298746946\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.30d","brand":"Gary Zacny","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47427841884415,"sku":"9798298746946","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c6071c4a-5aed-4f99-9145-ccfbd97d4789.jpg?v=1761581932","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-humanist-christmas-gary-zacny-9798298746946","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
