An Artificial Christmas

If You're Looking for a Typical Christmas Story,
Well, You've Found One – Not!

Miguelito couldn't stand having another Christmas without a tree again. So his parents traditionally celebrated instead by exchanging one gift at their Christmas Eve meal and a church visit the following day. Not cool since coming to America, when schoolmates discover a wealth of presents under their trees from Santa.

Born sickly into a poor family, who struggled to learn new ways and the language, Miguelito became desperate to share in the holiday customs and, for once, enjoy Christmas with Santa's help. So, when he found an artificial tree in the trash and brought it home one day, he started a bizarre, creepy, and supernatural Christmas to never forget!

Will Miguelito learn the true meaning of Christmas or continue to hang his dreams on a pretty tree? Discover the twists and turns fate has in store for the youngster in An Artificial Christmas.
