My Rating: 4 of 5 stars

It's Christmas Eve, 1957, and a twenty-year-old Royal Air Force pilot wants nothing more than to get home to his family for Christmas. It is a routine flight that should take about an hour, and the route has been mapped out. But suddenly, the flight goes very wrong, and the young pilot needs a Christmas miracle to save his airplane and his life.

This short story is superbly written, and it has that Christmas magic about it, letting the reader know all things are possible. I will be adding this one to my traditional Christmas Eve reading.
