Touching and Pointed Christmas Story

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is a touching story about a young family, whose mother decides to start a new family tradition of service to combat squabbling amongst her children. She decides that they will make a straw bed for a Baby Jesus doll, and that for each secret act of service done for another family member, one straw would get placed in the bed...the goal being to make the bed as soft as possible for the Baby Jesus.

Obviously, given the manner in which the mom chooses to motivate her kiddos, this is a seasonal story best appreciated by someone of a Christian faith. I bought this to provide depth and context to my sweet girl for a Baby Jesus figurine given to me by a good friend that was based on this story. My daughter really enjoyed it, and said that she especially loved the way it ended.

What I really liked was the message about the importance of service in promoting feelings of love and respect in the home...and I think that could certainly be applied to other settings as well.

sharing and good family values

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2014

Verified Purchase

This book, and the new 2014 movie by the same name, deserve a place alongside your Christmas classics It's really a story of loving, caring, sharing and good family values, with Christmas as a convenient setting. Non-Christians, agnostics, atheists, etc can alter the theme and adopt the same practice. Thank you Paula Palangi McDonald for sharing your family's story with the world.

In great shape. Smaller than I expected, but I like the illustrations - they're an updated version from the old copy I had.

Perfect gift for grandchildren

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2014

Verified Purchase

I bought this book for our 4 grandchildren because it has the true meaning of Christmas and the message that giving is more rewarding than receiving. A message that is sorely missed in today's world. I highly recommend this book as a keepsake to be read from generation to generation.
