Every woman who has longed to share a perfect Christmas with her grown-up children will find a special wisdom in this delightful tale. For the best of plans can go awry. All three Greaves children came home for the holidays and each brought a new triumph, but each triumph had its own problem and the problems outlasted a festivity that had lost something of it old radiance. When everyone had left, Margaret Greaves turned for comfort to the carefully treasured Christmas wrapping of the past, Cecily's angel, Penny's favorite golden peach, Hank's silver trumpet. Another tree rose in the living room. And as Mrs. Greaves lovingly recreated the happy past, something of its magic reached out to another generation and each found his own second chance in the celebration of the ''Little Christmas'' of Twelfth Night. 26 Pgs.
