This book is a slight different take on the Christmas story, yes the original story is still there and has not been changed but this event is based on the animals understanding, their fears and excitements of that day. The book does have a great lesson and comes with some fantastic illustrations to help keep the children interested. If you would like to give Santa Claus, Frosty and elves a break, then this is what you want.
Amazon Book Description
Christmas Eve is a magical time of year. One that is supposed to bring peace and harmony.
It is also time to bring love and hope for the New Year that is right around the corner.
Most of us feel very thankful for our friends and family around this time of year.
It is one that brings gifts, creates memories. It allows us to think about what is so unique about each of us.
The history of this magnificent holiday is one that has a lot of meaning. Christmas is the day that Jesus was born to Mary and Joseph.
He was born in a stable with many animals present at his birth.
This should have been a joyous time. It wasn’t that way in the beginning. In fact, it was very chaotic.
Many of the animals present around the stable that night weren’t willing to allow others to enter.
They were protective of the young mother to be and they were uneasy about outsiders.
We find out the unique qualities of the animals and their own offering on that special Christmas Eve.
