As I was wrapping the final Christmas presents this morning, with the help of a cute little 2 year old, I found the book and we stopped and read it. WHAT AN AWESOME BOOK! We have been very wrapped up in Santa, and Santa's bringing gifts, and lets name his reindeer, etc. It was so cute to read this book and have her ask me, "Mommy, where is God?" (the bears go looking for God in the story). Also a great reminder for Mommy of what Christmas is really about. Favorite quote from the book that is perfect for Christmas Eve:
"'Santa Claus reminds us about many good things like generosity and care. But it is God and Jesus that we celebrate most come Christmas. We always want to thank God for giving us Christmas.'"
Also discovered as I ordered this book that Lisa Tawn Bergren has written many similar books, the next one I plan on ordering is "God Gave Us Two" :) :)
