John Christopher is the Vice President of a small liberal arts university in northern New York. Any of his three daughters will tell you that he likes to find a little bit of Christmas every day of the year. He's been writing Christmas tales since the 80s, inspired by Charles Dickens (A Christmas Carol) and Philip Van Doren Stern, who wrote a story called “The Greatest Gift” for a Christmas card, which we know today as "It's a Wonderful Life."
