I?d like to add my two favorite children?s Christmas stories to the lists already presented. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns
 = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

      

 (1)
   Follow that Star by Kenneth Oppel

      

 A delightful story of a little shepherd boy wanting to get to Bethlehem to see angels and his misadventures on the trip. A
 story to make you giggle and simultaneously giving a profound message.

      

 (2)
   The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey by Susan Wojciechowski

      

 A gloomy Jonathan Toomey is asked to crave figures for a Christmas cr?che and is slowly transformed into a loving and caring man by the Widow McDowell?s son.<SPAN styl e="mso-spacerun: yes"> A moving story of love and Christmas grace.
