Christmas: Do you hear what I hear?
We think of Christmas as the day of days. We think of it as the day of the mortal birth of the Holy Child. Yet as important as this event was, it was (and still is) the message of "good tidings," the teachings of the Master, and His triumph over the grave which gave (and still gives) real "joy to the world" when the angel announced, "For unto you is born this day . . . a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."

I love this book because of the many heart warming stories Paul H. Dunn quotes from various sources, such as the "Ensign," the LDS Church News, "The Instructor," "Guideposts," etc. It was so surprising to see "Christmas Day in the Morning" by Pearl S. Buck. I had read that to my children years ago and still give it as a reading now.

I like the portion about the need for Santa to be included in Christmas but with a balance.
