About the book: (from the dust jacket)
In this beautiful book, Mary Alice Jones leads boys and girls to see that Christmas is more than a joyous festival or a time for exchanging gifts. Almost every child knows the Christmas story of the Christ Child born in Bethlehem. But in TELL ME ABOUT CHRISTMAS, Mary Alice Jones goes beyond this familiar story to help children understand the why of Christmas.
Through simple, story like text built around happy family activities, she helps them to understand the deeper spiritual meaning of Christmas as showing the relationship between God and man. Easily and naturally she takes them back through the Bible story to show why the world needed Christmas and how Christmas came to be. TELL ME ABOUT CHRISTMAs is a book every home needs as a basic preparation for the Christmas season-and for reading pleasure throughout the year.
Mary Alice Jones, through her work on the Committee on Children’s Work of the National Council of Churches, has been in constant touch with thousands of children, teachers, and parents.. TELL Mr ABOUT CHRISTMAS, like Tell Me about God, TELL Me ABOUT JESUS, and her other books of the “Tell Me” scries, shows once more her gift for answering in wise and satisfying manner the religious questions children ask. Lovely illustrations by Marjorie Cooper give added beauty to this truly inspiring book.
