One Wintry Night by Ruth Bell Graham.
This is really two stories in one. First story is about a boy who goes out walking in the woods in the mountains. The weather gets bad and he makes it to a neighbor's house. He ends up spending several days as they are snowed in.
While he is there the lady of the house entertains him with the story of Christmas. She starts with creation and Adam and Eve. After all, if sin hadn't entered the world there would be no need for a savior. To truly understand the meaning of Christmas we have to understand why we need a savior in the first place. I love how she walks through many of the important events of the Old Testament. Then she gets to the birth of Christ. But she doesn't stop there as that is just the beginning. She talks about his death and resurrection. This is a great book that will really tie in the true meaning of Christmas for children. We really enjoyed reading this book. The pictures in the book are marvelous too.
