    About this ebook

    During the holiday season it is easy for families to lose track of each other and forget to spend a few moments a day together truly celebrating the Reason for the Season. This collection of "advent" stories to be read one a day through the days leading to Christmas to help bring the story of Christ's birth alive and bring your family together.

    The book opens with an angel finding a home with no Christmas joy. The angel remembers the gift Christ gave that night long ago. He then remembers 25 "people" who were witness to the events leading to or right after the birth of Christ. Most of this people are mentioned and some of their story is told in the Bible. Some are mentioned but no story is given, like the Innkeeper. We know he was there but we know nothing other than he gave them shelter in the stable. Some we can guess were there. Mary and Joseph must have had mothers. What would Joseph's and Mary's mothers thought about Mary being with child and not married? Find out how people felt at seeing the birth of Christ.
