Christmas Convergence is a clever romp through the childhood of Bob Zuber. Spinning from his great grandmother who gave him seventeen great aunts and uncles. His tales start in the middle of a New Jersey boatyard and end lopping off the top of a fifty-foot Christmas tree in Maine. Along the way, we learn of the Miss Gypsophila Pageant he masterminded to improve morale on his great uncle's flower farm, buying Christmas presents from his neighbor who ran the town dump, and sea-faring tales aboard his only sister, the family's 1902 Friendship Sloop Gladiator. Bob vividly records varied perspectives, and, like traveling to your relatives, you don't think you are ever going to get there, but you finally arrive delightfully surprised. Located between the childhood fears, boyhood wonder, and ridiculous situations are poems of reflection from the author's adult vantage point. Christmas Convergence is a kaleidoscope of scenes, thoughts and emotion. This book will make you laugh, shed a gentle tear, and most likely spark memories of the people and events that converge around your Christmas tree. For, as the author reminds us: When all is said and done, All but love can be undone.
