Christmas Is Love
There would be no Christmas were it not for love—God's love. His was a love so great that it formed a bridge from the from the hearts of men to the throne of heaven. It was a love so great that it transformed sinful, disgraced men and women into brightly shining children of the Most High God. That love came to us in the form of a human baby graced with a divine pedigree. His name was Jesus, and He was God's only begotten Son.
It is said that a gift is not truly a gift unless it costs the giver in some sacrificial way. in that sense. God gave the only gift possible. He had no other Son, only Jesus. What must He have felt for us—willful creation that we were—that He was compelled to bless us so richy? Only great, unspeakable, inexplicable, undeserved, perfect love—God's love—could be so sweet. That love is what Christmas is all about.

The last chapter retells the ¿Message of the Manger,¿ followed by a list of contributors, and a brief reference and note¿s section.<BR/><BR/>Washington author, Lydia Harris, contributed a childhood memory of all-night caroling with the church choir. Harris grew up in a rural area of Blaine Washington, with farms scattered across the countryside. On each Christmas Eve, the church choir traveled to each church member¿s home to carol, a journey that would last into the wee hours of the morning.

They also make a wonderful family treat. <BR/><BR/>Each section includes recipes such as Christmas fudge, Oyster dressing, or Star of Bethlehem Cookies.
