Summary:
Twelve modern-day stories focus on the "true meaning" of Christmas. Each addresses the tenacity of the human spirit; all are engaging stories.

Teaching Ideas:
Teachers should know that some stories have religious overtones. Most stories would work well with response-based writing or discussion. Some stories would be good choices for teacher read-aloud. Students may want to keep track of the "morals" to the stories as they read. Text sets might include intergenerational friendships or helping others. www.worldtime.com
