Headed to Hawaii for Christmas, this wealthy businessman ends up in North Dakota instead, visiting a sick aunt. When a blizzard cuts off the electricity, figures from his childhood appear for a festive candlelit holiday. He reaches an epiphany worthy of the season, hearing the angels sing in the silent night. "The simple and well-written story is taken to fresh heights by the author's obvious pleasure... brims with seasonal cheer, caustic wit, and Keillor's signature folksy style."—Publishers Weekly
