    About this ebook

    Christmas as a contemporary holiday is centered much on the whimsical activity of jolly bearded magical elf in a red suit who answers wishes and brings presents. When in reality, the reason for the season is Christ’s birth, the beginning of God’s love for man through redemption. This small story is an attempt to join fantasy with a historical perspective.
