What Is Christmas

by Michelle Medlock Adams

Book Overview

For ages 4-8. Here is a book for toddlers that resolves the dilemma many parents have as they attempt to reconcile their religious faith with the secular celebration of Easter. The author first asks the question: Is this what Easter means? By the end of the story, even the youngest child will agree with the author, "Now I get it, the eggs are fun and the Easter bunny is okay, but Easter's not about that stuff. It's about God's son."

Customer Reviews

True Meaning of Christmas

This book is wonderful! It rhymes, has cute illustrations and speaks in a way for children to truly understand the real meaning behind Christmas and why we celebrate.

Great Christmas Book

My daughter, 18 months, really likes this book. She called it the "Kissing Book" for the first month we had it because of the page that says, "Is it about the mistletoe where Mom and Daddy kiss?" Great book for remembering that while Christmas trees, Santa, and presents are okay, Jesus is the real reason we have a Christmas Day. We also like the Easter book, which has a similar cadence, and "I Love You", both by Candy Cane Press.

True Inspiration

It is nice to see a book written about why we celebrate Christmas. So much has been lost over the years with all the comercialization of Christmas. I enjoyed the flow of the book and the poetry.

Great Book to explain the real meaning of Christmas

This book is a great way to explain to our children that Christmas is not just for gifts and all the other great things that go with celebrating Christmas. It shows that Jesus is the real reason we celebrate Christmas. Great Christmas book

What a wonderful book for children . . .

I just received this book and was so impressed with the message to help remind us all (big or small) the reason for celebrating Christmas while still acknowledging other activities of the season many enjoy. This book really provides a good balance while still stressing that the reason for season is the birth of Jesus. I will be recomending this book on my site www.christmasorganizing.com as a top pick for children's Christmas books.
