Average Rating: 
Rating:  - 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. They also seemed to grasp the concept that God and Santa are different by how it was presented in a simple manner in this book. I would definitely recommend this book for children in preschool and elementary school. I enjoyed the book so much that I will be purchasing the other two books in this series.
Rating:  - 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.
It's far too wordy a story, and very frustrating to read aloud to two small children, and we love reading to our kids.
Rating: - 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 has become accustomed to. It does not say that Santa does not exist (for those fearful parents whose children still "believe") but suggests that Santa is a reminder of attributes that God cares about and wants us all to possess.

Rating: - 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.

I was more right than I thought. He absolutely LOVES this book. He has read it every night since I bought it and he sleeps with it under his pillow. It's a ... Read More
Rating: - The best Christmas book I've found for children - creative & meaningful
I researched a ton of Christmas books to give as gifts this year. I was looking for something that conveyed the true meaning of Christmas but in a engaging, child-friendly way to supplement the straightforward telling of the birth of Jesus. This is a wonderful story that actually *has* meaning (instead of many childrens christmas books that mentions that there were animals that saw the Baby Jesus, but doesn't really draw out more meaning than that).
