Do you want to lay aside the Christmas flurry and concentrate on what it's really all about? This meaningful devotional walks you and your family through the month of December so you can celebrate the birth of Jesus together as a family.

Includes illustrated versions of eight carols, the story of the Nativity, and the famous narrative poem about St. Nicholas' Christmas Eve visit.

This collection of spirited holiday stories offers something for everyone, from Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" to holiday-related excerpts from Louisa May Alcott's "Little Women" to O. Henry's beloved "The Gift of the Magi"Nand, of course, the Bible's own accounts of Jesus' birth. Original.

The Legends of Christmas Treasury; Inspirational Stories of Faith and Giving contains three bestselling Christmas stories that include The Legend of the Candy Cane, The Legend of St. Nicholas, and The Legend of the Christmas Cookie. The Legend of the Christmas Cookie, written by Dandi Daley Mackall and illustrated by Richard Cowdrey, tells the story of a young boy named Jack who learns from his generous mother the story behind the Christmas cookie. This sweet holiday book offers inspiration for readers to become cheerful givers themselves and encourages them to share the true tale of Jesus' birth.

The little book attempts to collect in one volume some of my Christmas favorites from around the world. Some of them may also be yours; others may be new to you. With the joy and gaiety of Christmas also come the fond memories of stories, passages, poems and carols read and heard by us; memories which are always fresh within us and help us feel young and full of optimism all year round.
