Send In Your Answers One Small Word   Daniel listened politely as his elderly neighbor chatted with him and his mom in the front yard. “You and my grandson Benjamin would get along so well together,” Mrs. Crane was saying. “He really enjoys skateboarding. And did I tell you that he plays basketball?” Daniel nodded. “And that he’s in my grade in school, and that he has a baseball card collection.” Mrs. Crane smiled and nodded. “I really hope the two of you get a chance to meet sometime.” After Mrs. Crane left, Daniel turned to his mom. “Mrs. Crane is always telling me about her grandson. I must know just about everything there is to know about him. He sounds like a nice guy, but I’m g

You can’t expect her to make a gingerbread house without eating any of it.” “But I want it to be perfect!” It was a Christmas tradition for Karis and Ella to make a gingerbread house. Karis lined up the red and green gumdrops like little army men. The containers of colored sprinkles stood at attention like soldiers. “Mom, I think there’s more icing in Ella’s hair than on our gingerbread house.” “Don’t worry about it, honey,” said Mom. “I’ll give her a bath when you’re finished.”  Karis smiled at her sister. “If you get any more icing on your face,

Dad pulled to the side of the street so they could get a good look at the house that had won the award for having the best display of lights. They admired it for a few minutes. As they continued on their way, they agreed that no other place could compare to the house that had won the award. The next day was the first day of Christmas vacation for Arabella. “I’m glad we won’t have school for a little while,” she said at breakfast. “I can’t do anything right there. I don’t read well, I can’t spell, and I’m crummy in math.” She let

Lexie dangled her feet off the bunk bed as her sister got ready for their Christmas program rehearsal. “I’m going to mark my script so I don’t miss any of my lines,” Lexie said. She stuck her pen in her princess purse. “Girls! We need to be at church soon!” Mama stuck her head in the door. “What! You’re not even dressed? We should have left already!” Anna poked her head out of the closet. “But I can’t find my shoes.” “Forget your shoes! Just come on!” Mama rushed away to check on the twins. By the time everyone was loaded in the van, Mama was downright angry. “This happens every time we need to go somewhere!” Mama said. “I’m so sick of bein

"Pastor Rollins is looking for places for the Peterson children to stay while their mother is in the hospital. I thought maybe we could take Morgan.” Rayna groaned. “Mom, no! She’d want to tag along everywhere I go.”  That evening, Rayna’s family read part of the Christmas story during family devotions. “Imagine Joseph’s disappointment when he asked for a room and the innkeeper turned him away,” Dad said as he closed the Bible. Then he prayed that they would be careful not to do the same thing. Rayna thought about that when she went to bed. In her mind,

Sometimes Johnny’s mom was waiting for them when their bus got to their neighborhood, and sometimes she wasn’t. “My grandpa will be there,” said Caden. Johnny nodded. “He always is.” When their bus reached its first stop, a younger girl started crying. “I don’t see my aunt. She’s supposed to meet me.” “She’s probably having trouble walking through the deep snow.” An older girl took the younger girl’s hand. “I’ll walk with you until you find her.”Johnny watched th

When Mary and Joseph got to Bethlehem, all they could find was a stable. They probably just had straw.” Stella sighed. “Yeah, well, at least they had the gifts the wise men brought them.

It was Christmas Eve, and working at a soup kitchen was not how she wanted to spend the afternoon. She and Mom always baked Christmas cookies on Christmas Eve, and Dad let her help build a fire in the fireplace, and then they’d all watch a Christmas movie together. But her parents decided they needed to start a new tradition this year—serving others in need. Evelyn sighed in frustration. She still had presents to wrap!

Please?” echoed his sisters, Adriane and Nicole. Mom smiled. “All right,” she said, “but as you eat them, I want you to think of how they remind you of the reason we celebrate Christmas.” Each of the kids quickly selected a red and white striped candy cane from the tree. Nicole held her candy at arm’s length and stared at it. “I don’t really see what candy canes have to do with Christmas,” she said, “except that it’s the time of year when you always see lots of them. Or maybe it’s because there’s red on them—Christmas colors are red a

Wanna come with us? I’m sure Mom will say it’s okay.” “I can’t,” said Mateo. “Our family always goes to church on Christmas Eve. We have a candlelight service where we read the Christmas story and sing Christmas carols.” “Christmas carols? Like ‘Jingle Bells’ and ‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’?” Mateo shook his head. “No, songs about the real meaning of Christmas, like ‘Away in a Manger’ and ‘Silent Night.
