It is short and very easy to read, which is great for younger ones. It talks about lots of typical Christmas things [Santa, presents, Christmas plays, candy canes, elves, etc.] but then explains the true meaning of Christmas. It talks about how fun all the other things can be, but how the real reason for Christmas is Jesus. I love the illustrations and colors of this story too. This book really gets right to the point in a very cute way.
We have quite a few books about the birth of Jesus and I think they are wonderful and very important, but this book is a great companion to any of those! This one focuses on all the things that bombard our little ones around the holidays. I want my kids to know that all of those things are okay, but that we need to focus on what Christmas is really about.
This book would make a great stocking stuffer! Check it out here.

Sounds perfect! Trying to stay away from the commercial side of Christmas - and with a 5 year old going to school, it's hard to avoid the "I want" thing!
Thanks for the pointer!
Thanks for the book recommendation. I added it to my Amazon wish list. :-)
