Plus instructions for making mittens and warm neck scarves as Christmas gifts for the needy. This book is written from a Christian perspective, with over 40 pages focusing on Jesus’ Birthday. We have 7 coloring pages of the Nativity story, a cut & paste angel activity, and angel and Nativity card making and ornament crafts. We share how kids can give presents to Jesus on His birthday. And we include Bible passages on giving, as well. (This section is also sold separately at a much lower price as It’s Jesus’ Birthday for those who wish to focus on the Nativity Story alone and not on the Victorian Era or lavish Christmas celebrations.) The rest of the more than 150 pages are all about the Protestant origins of traditional Christmas celebrations, such as candles and Christmas trees, wreaths and garlands, bells and sleighs, stockings and presents. Plus we have a section on what life was like for Victorian boys and girls, and a section on outdoor winter fun and safety. You will use this book year after year! You may print copies of this book’s pages for members of your own household as often as you like. In addition, during the Christmas season you may choose 3 pages to share with all of your Christmas guests.
