What is Christmas without a little story telling. If you don't have anyone to read to you this season, here are some audiobooks. The Christmas Carol  by Charles Dickens and The Mansion by Henry Van Dyke. Both wonderful Christmas Time Classics.

Are you ready for a Christ-centered Christmas craft? We sure are. Jill was inspired by a picture of a little girl painting the backdrop for the Nativity Scene.

Feel free to straighten the star.
