The True Meaning of Christmas!
This is a great book that my daughter wants to be read to her throughout the year. We want her to know what the true meaning of Christmas is all about-the birth of Jesus Christ…

This is one of my new favorite reads for the Christmas season (or anytime, really)! IT has a sweet, warm message. I love finding books with a true Christian theme. Santa Clause and Frosty are great, and have a place in our traditions, but it’s also very important to keep a focus on the reason we celebrate Christmas in the first place. I have read this book to 4 and 5-year-olds, who enjoyed it very much. We read it two or three times in one week! They loved it each time, and I loved reinforcing the wonderful spirit of the book. I HIGHLY recommend this for children ages 3-12 (and the adults who love them)!

God gave us Christmas and all things beautiful.
Very well done! God Gave Us Christmas answers a little bear’s question. A parent shows him many of God’s wonderful creations. Nice for any toddler through Elementary child.

“Who ‘vented Christmas? Was it Santa?” This book answers a child’s questions with tenderness as a mother bear and her cub go looking for the giver of Christmas–not Santa, but God. There is no Santa bashing, however, when Mama says, “Santa Claus reminds us about many good things…” The mother and child find God in the natural world and in the hearts of people. Illustrated beautifully, this book is sure to become a Christmas classic.

God Gave Us Christmas
Excellent book for my church preschool class. All of the children were glued to the pictures of the polar bears and their animal friends.

Author needs to hire new editor
While the book is a nice one, and the message is a good one, the authors need to fire their editors and hire new ones.

Meaning of Christmas: Jesus or Santa?
This book does a really great job of acknowledging the true reason we celebrate Christmas - Jesus’ birth - while not downplaying any of the other holiday traditions our culture…

Great book about the true meaning of Christmas. Lots of books do that, however, this one actual gives a good reason for Santa - other than “he’s not real”. Regardless of whether Santa is part your Christmas celebration, kids always hear about it. Illustrations are beautifully done. My 3 year-old loves this “bear book”.

Wonderful Christmas book
I bought this book for my six year old boy thinking it would serve two purposes. One, I thought it would bridge the gap between the real meaning of Christmas and Santa Claus…

God didn’t give you diddly
Especially not a holiday that’s nothing but a mish mash of other holidays, including evil scary pagan rituals.

This is such a sweet book for any age. We got this for our daughter two years ago, and she still loves reading it.
