Fresh stories to tell at Chrismas

This dozen collection of Richard Olsons Christmas Stories that he used on Christmas Eve in his church---I would love to have been there. They are sermons in story format and highly tellable and adaptable for retellings. I particularly like the Three Strangers which is based on a chance encounter of a Roman Centurion, an Arab Shepherd and the Jewish Inn Keeper a few weeks after the birth of Jesus when the two come to Inn for a drink--It is crowded and the Inn Keeper invites them to share his table. They find a common bond in sharing there experience with Mary, Joseph and the Baby and how it has affected them. Looking for fresh stories to tell at Christmas? You will find them here
