A heartwarming dialogue between a pastor and Santa focuses attention on the truest gift of Christmas, the Christ child. The service is simple to prepare -- two good presenters can provide a very meaningful worship service for an entire congregation of children and adults. A complete order of service with hymns, readings, and prayers is included.It wasn't a lavish Christmas by any stretch of the imagination – I probably spent a fraction of what the average family splashed out on presents, food and drink.

This is the full-color gift edition, with colored ribbons at every chapter heading plus several full-color pictures scattered throughout. This novel could be classed as either American historical fiction or alternative history.The lives of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Mark Twain both contained terrible tragedies from which they eventually found real hope and spiritual meaning-at least in this novel. This novel is about one little sermon called "The Christmas Victory," and one, even littler poem, called "Christmas Bells," and how, fictionally, they both may have influenced and given hope to, not only the author of the poem, Henry W.
