We have over 40 Christmas books now. I buy at least one new one ever year--usually at a used book store for between fifty cents and 3 or 4 dollars. In my humble opinion, this is the best Christmas book there is. It beats A Christmas Carol and The Christmas Box and Gift of the Magi and all the others.
It's a simple children's book with about 15 pages and it goes through all the wonderful things about Christmas--everything everybody likes, but at the bottom of each page, it says, "but that's not the best thing about Christmas." Of course the last few pages tell the Christmas story about Christ's birth, with details of shepherds and angels. The last page says, "Yes, I like everything about Christmas. But I think the BEST thing is...Jesus came for ME!
Christmas is personal. It's individual. It's on the inside. No matter how the world distorts it, He came for me.
