One Wintry Night by Ruth Bell Graham illustrated by Richard Jesse Watson*

I highly recommend this book for any family who wants to keep Christ the center of Christmas.
Zeb is caught in a snow storm and spends a few days in woman's house in the mountains. As he waits out the storm, the woman tells him the story of Christmas starting at the creation of the world until Christ's resurrection.  Love how this book reveals how God has always wanted a relationship with us and was always working out a way to have that relationship.  The entire Bible points to Christ.

**The illustrations by Mr. Watson are exquisite.  I read somewhere that it took him a few years to complete the illustrations for this book.

Each night a couple weeks before Christmas we read a chapter.  I made felt ornaments that correspond to the chapter and hide them for the boys.  The boys find them and hang them on a small tree.
