My Favorite Christmas Story

This has become my favorite Christmas story to read aloud to my first graders. I had all I could do to keep the tears from flowing as I read it and when I looked into my students' faces, they were completely enraptured with this story. Some were so moved, they were wiping their eyes. We talked about how good books can make us feel such emotion. In today's economy, I think it's a book that will remind us of what the holidays are really all about. The pictures are beautiful, the story truly heartwarming. What an amazing story!!!

Beautiful Christmas story

This is a heartwarming story of a family who, regardless of the hard time they've had, recognize the blessings in their life. The last page, where the father is grateful for his family and their home, truly moved me.
