We were rich because we got to do for free what many people would have been glad to pay good money for, to live on a ranch with horses and cattle and cowboys." So begins Elmer Kelton's story about what Christmas was like on a ranch in far West Texas during the Great Depression.

This heart-warming little book includes accounts of Kelton's last Christmas at home before shipping out for war in Europe, his first Christmas after the war, and a special Christmas in Austria more than thirty-five years later.
