During the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season, Allan B. Thames enjoys writing Facebook posts for his home page. He tries to write something a little bit encouraging or thoughtful every day. Christmas Matters, Too (a nice follow-up to his first Christmas collection, Christmas Matters), is a collection of those contributions. This book includes the ones from Christmas 2023, and Thanksgiving/Christmas 2024.

In Christmas Matters, Too Allan's 10 year old granddaughter, R. Grace McElroy, once again shows off her growing and glowing writing skills in support of her Gimpy with her new story, Life of a Candy Cane. It is followed by Allan's 10 year old grandson (and R. Grace McElroy's cousin) Zade A. Thames with his short and lively story, Once Upon a Candy Cane.

Christmas Matters, Too shares a mysterious Christmas Prayer from Heaven, the strange Mysterious Christmas Card and delves into the strange case of The Missing Manger.

Christmas Matters, Too takes you on a 'Search for Christmas' where you will get lost and wander in the dark during a very cold nighttime 5K run. You will ride the Villa Rica Gold Rush Museum Christmas Train with the frost icing your cheeks and you will go in Search of Christmas to Athens, Georgia with Allan's 'radiantly beautiful' wife, Celia. You will even hear a very special Mewwy Cwistmas greeting from an unlikely source!

Christmas Matters, Too wanders through Thanksgiving 2023 where a main theme comes from the Bible in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 ...in all things give thanks.... Allan gives thanks through the season for his dad's old truck, the Church in the Valley by the Wildwood where he was baptized, and his mom's 'Golden Locket'. He even gives thanks for harsh troubles, sometimes constant pains and long, weary nights.

Christmas Matters, Too is full of the Thanksgiving/Christmas Spirit because through and around behind every story, poem, hymn and thought is the beautiful Christmas package of Christ that you can unwrap as you read. Hopefully, you will want to read Christmas Matters, Too every holiday season.
