Best Seller Christmases Present

This little anthology with three longer stories has been a best seller for the past two years. 

In the Christmas Bells an older sister is looking after her younger half sister when the younger girl, Pandora, finds a silver jingle (sleigh) bell in the street. Her imagination runs wild with all the possibilities of how that bell came to be in the street and concludes that it fell off one of Sana's reindeer sent to spy on her to see if she's been good. In the corner store, Mr. Ingersoll puts the bell on a piece of red and white string so she can wear it around her neck. In her innocence, she calls a young man Victoria knows at school a ding-a-ling when he sets off the shop bell upon entering the store. Dylan surprises Victoria by keeping his cool and interacting decently with his little sister. He makes something special for Pandora, arranging to meet Victoria behind the corner store one night before Christmas.
