The Story of the First Christmas Tree
by Henry Van Dyke
Audiobook / 55 minutes
PDF ebook includedSet in 722 A.D., THE FIRST CHRISTMAS TREE tells of how Prince Gregor, "a young boy with the spirit of a man," and his hero, the brave Winfried of England, journey through treacherous land to reach the heathen people of the forest on Christmas eve. When they arrive, Winfried rescues the heathen from an unspeakable evil, destroys the great oak tree where they worshiped their false god, and points to a young fir tree, "the tree of the Christ-child," as a symbol of a greater God and act of love than the pagan gods they worship.
This is a very different, yet wonderful story of Christmas in the "Dark Ages"... a real adventure your kids will really enjoy and remember!Henry Van Dyke was one of the most popular and enduring writers of the early 20th century. His sermons, poems, and short stories were well-loved by children and adults alike. The First Christmas Tree, written in 1897 and read aloud to Van Dyke's congregation at Brick Presbyterian Church in New York City.
Old Christmas
by Washington Irving
Audiobook / 1- 1/2 hours
PDF ebook includedThis delightful description of the old fashioned celebration of Christmas in England in the late 1700s is taken from Irving's book "The Sketch Book" by the early American journalist, Washington Irving. This is a vivid, rich narrative of how a "Merry Christmas" was celebrated and honored in olden times. A wonderfully evocative and atmospheric "old fashioned" narrative that you will treasure!
Why the Chimes Rang
by Raymond MacDonald Alden
Beautiful illustrated PDF ebook
& Audio performance by "The Great Gildersleeve"Next, thanks to Tammy Cardwell at CJPress.net, we have a marvellous PDF version of the beautifully illustrated original book "Why the Chimes Rang" by Raymond MacDonald Alden. This is the simple, moving story of a little boy who wanted to honor the Lord's birthday, and how an unexpected diversion caused his to be the greatest gift of all. Accompanying this delightful book is an episode of The Great Gildersleeve, in which Gildersleeve reads this book to a crowd of children spending their holidays in the hospital. It is a moving reading and a great story that your whole family will love.
