My children are grown and have their own Christmas celebrations with their families—each with their own traditions. When my wife and I have the occasion of being a part of one of these, usually in the afternoon someone will say, “Grandpa, will you tell us a Christmas story?”

That describes this book. I’m going to tell you a story—maybe one you can share at your gathering. Ah, but I’ve enlisted the help of other storytellers, each with their own Christmas story. Some of these are actual memories from their childhood; some are original stories they have crafted to tell at Christmas gatherings. Some of the stories are Bible stories that are simply told right from Scripture, others are embellished Bible stories.

Make us a part of your Christmas tradition. Gather ‘round and let “Grandpa tell you a Christmas story.”
