Gary feels sorry for Richard and invites him to go to Woodstock with him and his friends. Gary and Richard meet in 1969 when Gary and his friends are planning to go to Woodstock and in the diner Gary sees Richard who is about to fly to New York to be shipped to Vietnam. I like holiday magic in my books very much, but way more often than not they contain too much sugar for me and I end up consuming very little. For Richard’s first Christmas home, he is gifted a special angel ornament that just might make a soldier’s wish come true. They share dreams and fears, and when Richard is shipped off to war, they share letters and love. Three days of music, drugs, rain, mud, and love forged a bond between these two very different men that would shape the rest of their lives. And with just a few days left before he’s deployed, a striking hippie invites him to join them at a music festival He’s hidden his darkest secret to earn his father’s love, but nothing is ever good enough-not even volunteering for the Vietnam War. Richard Ronsman is a sheltered farm boy who lives in the shadow of his overbearing father. When tickets to the Aquarium Exposition-3 Days of Peace & Music, or Woodstock, as it was better known, go on sale, there’s no way he isn’t going. To him, it isn’t just a counterculture movement-it’s a way of life.

Gary Fairchild is proud to be a hippie college student, and he protests the Vietnam War because he believes in love and peace. The stories are supposed to be stand alones, only connected by the Christmas Angel helping the lonely men find love throughout the years. I may or may not read the rest of them, but below are mini reviews for those I have read already. I have read three stories out of seven holiday novellas in the Christmas Angel series.
