The holiday season is upon us and the retail industry is bearing down with all it's might. Shopping is all we hear about this time of year. Deals, sales and helping the economy. But wait a minute! What about being thankful for what we already have? What about celebrating Jesus? The media and retail industry isn't helping us with that. So we've got to help ourselves.
It can be a challenge, especially, to teach children the true meaning of Christmas. First we have to know what it means to us. In our heart of hearts, why do we really celebrate? Once the answer is clear, God, his blessings and Jesus Christ will stand out before anything else. So if you are all about spreading holiday cheer and uplifting Christ, then here are three books to help further that message. Enjoy!

1. The Reason for the Season by Chantal Ellen - talks about the true story of Christmas and why we celebrate the way we do.
2. The Story of Christmas by Patricia Pingry - this book was reprinted in 2010 and contains multicultural images. I found it at Target. It also talks about Jesus and why we give to one another.
3.The Bible -Luke 2:8-11, 13-14; Matthew 2: 1-11 - this is the most beautiful story in history.
