Living a Faith-Filled Life

I was at my local library earlier this week and decided to grab a couple Christmas books from the kids' section. I fell in love with Celebrating Christmas by Christina Goodings, but was saddened to see that it's not that easy to find anywhere else.

I thought about not recommending it, but it's a great book, so even though it may be hard to find, it's worth looking for. 

In Celebrating Christmas you'll find plenty of poems, legends, recipes, and more. You can learn how to make paper punch advent stars, nativity pageant costumes (easy to make,) a Christmas tree out of poles and string, etc.

This book is a great coffee table book for the holidays. Whether you're in the mood to read the legend of St. Nick (a different version than the one I'm used to) or want to learn how to wrap presents, this book would appeal especially to kids in grades 3-8. Crafty kids and their parents may try a few new things, while other families may read aloud by the fire place.

It's too bad this isn't being sold widely any more. I would keep the title and author on a piece of paper in my purse and then look for it in the used book stores. It's well worth owning.
