A short and sweet, unique Christmas tale about a man who tenderly restores an abused public carousel and is actually Santa's beloved reindeer, Dasher, whenever he puts on the old harness he keeps in the barn where he works on restoring the carousel animals. His world is forever changed when he meets Merry, a young homeless woman who takes refuge in his barn. Merry teaches Dash the meaning of love and what it means to put someone else before your own wants and desires.I really enjoyed this story. It had a really unique concept and was simply undeniably sweet. I just wish it had been a tad bit longer and had gone into just a bit more detail about the relationship between the two characters, so the sacrifice Dash makes for Merry at the end would have seemed just a bit more significant. Other than that though, I found Sliver Bells to be a very enjoyable short holiday read.
