Books with title The Story of Christmas by K.B. Bamfield

When Nicholas Claus asks Christmas, (Christy) the youngest daughter of Mother Nature and Father Time, to marry him. Christy's spoiled older sister, Mary, gets jealous and tricks Christmas into changing herself into a tree. Father Time’s magic had ended two days earlier on the first day of winter, so Nicholas only has until New Year’s Day to find a way to change Christy back or she'll have to remain a tree forever. The Story of Christmas Time is a new twist on the old story of Santa Claus and the Spirit of Christmas.

The Story of Christmas from the Read and Share Bible is a colorful retelling of the birth of Christ and the events surrounding it.Based on the International Children's Bible, this book begins with the birth of John the Baptist.

The "Can You Retell the Story" activity at the end of the book is a fun way for children to learn to tell the story themselves.
