Gifts for a Joyous Christmas

Gifts for a Joyous Christmas Book Description

Christmas "is a time for family," says Girls and Boys Town Executive Director Val J. Peter. No one appreciates this more than the children of Girls and Boys Town, whose own Christmas memories may be more pain-filled than joyous.In these pages, they share what they've learned of the true spirit of Christmas - that family warmth and togetherness are far more precious than piles of costly presents. They tell us what they'd like most for Christmas dinner, how Santa met Mrs. Claus, and what gifts they would give that cost no money. Also inside, Peter advises families on how to make Christmas a season, not just a day.Use this book of holiday reflections to inspire your family to celebrate a more joyful, spiritual, and healing Christmas than ever before!
