HIT: Great Christmas Stories - Part 2

[Amy Derwin <aederwin@GALWAYCSD.ORG>]

Hi group!  I've since received more favorite Christmas stories.  Here
are the rest of the stories that haven't already been mentioned.  I have
made my decision - I have just ordered The Last Straw.  I will
definitely try to get ahold of many of the others - but the Christmas
story will be The Last Straw.  Thanks again!!



The Last Straw, by Fredrick H.
Thury (Talewinds 1998). The story of the camel whose burden is
evergrowing with the gifts of all he meets on the way to the stable on
Christmas Eve, whose last item to take along is a straw for the baby's
bed, and whose knees buckle just as he gets to the stable--when the baby

reaches out to touch him and no burden was ever to great to be carried
again--is just beautiful for any audience.

Amy, please add the most wonderful "House of Wooden Santas" by Kevin
Major.
I love this book! It is the story of a single Mom and her son who have
to
move to a new town. The Mom carves a new wooden santa everyday before
Christmas and tries to sell them to make a living. A wonderful story
with
excellent characters. A great lead up to Christmas - a story for each
day!
Hugs,
Sue

Amy-
I glanced over your hit and saw lots of my Christmas favorites--
with one exception. You should also know about With Love at
Christmas by Mem Fox. Don't read it in a bookstore--too touching!
Best holiday wishes
