Christmas Traditions by Elmer L. Towns, Linda Toler, Ruth Towns
A tiny girl, round face shining beneath a halo of brown curls, pulls herself on top of her mother`s cedar chest. She presses her face against the cold glass of the window and peers out into the starry night. She searches the sky for a light, a flash, anything that might resemble a bearded man in a sleigh or a reindeer with a glowing red nose. Years pass and the girl doesn`t crawl onto the chest anymore or press her face against the glass eagerly, but she still pauses on Christmas Eves to look out the same bedroom window and search the vast sky. Traditions are hot apple cider, Nativity scenes, cranberry sauce, twinkling lights, Grandma`s house, days off from school, jingle bells and Advent Calendars. These little seasonal ingredients are so intrinsic to our personal holiday recipes that we sometimes forget why we do them. A neighbor asks, Why do you place a red bow on every doorknob? The answer is often I`m not sure. That`s just what my mother did. The Tolers and Towns have come together to share many of their favorite memories and Holiday traditions. A collection of stories, songs, poems, recipes and Scripture, Christmas Traditions is an inspiring volume guaranteeing to warm the heart like Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. May your traditions never neglect to include the Magi`s request, Where is He that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East, and are come to worship him.

The Real Jesus by Luke T. Johnson
