The Christmas Tree's Tale

Every Christmas tree has a tale to tell. There's a tale telling why the tree has become such an important part of our Christmas celebrations. And there is a story behind each of the things that we hang on the branches. This book includes short stories for each day of Advent, each illustrating a different aspect of Christmas and based around the dressing of the Christmas tree. It offers an unusual presentation of the Christmas story and includes traditional tales alongside the Christmas narrative itself, a Christmassy approach to the Christmas characters, and a look at Jesus as the Light of the World. With stories, comments, crafts and prayers on each page, this book is designed to delight every child who has felt a thrill of excitement at the sight of the Christmas tree. It includes photocopy permission on all craft illustration and full instructions for craft activities.
