The Christmas Adventure

By C.A. Simonson

The boys gave their father an incredulous look. "What do you mean, no presents?" 

"We're doing something exciting this year," he said with a mischievous grin. "We're going to make this a real adventure! Right, honey?" He looked at his wife for support.

"Sure...," she tried to sound as excited as he sounded. But her heart wasn't in it. His 'adventure' meant no Christmas at all. Was she ready to console two young boys? How much were they really willing to give up?

 

The Christmas Adventure is a fun Christmas tale of a young family trying to bring back the real meaning of Christmas. It was going to hold a lot more surprises than they knew.

INTRODUCTION

Christmas is meant to be a special time, especially for those who call themselves Christ-followers. Advent is the birthday of our Savior and King. Sometimes in the busyness of the season, we get caught up in so much of the tinsel and holly and everything else, we forget the whole reason of His coming.

One year, we wanted to do something different. Something exciting. Something memorable.

This little story is based on true incidents in the life of the author. Details have been embellished and all names changed to protect the guilty.

I trust you enjoy reading it.

No presents? Their eyes widened in surprise. You've got to be kidding, Dad!

Without the slightest hint of a smile, Jim looked at me for reinforcement of the bombshell he’d dropped at the dinner table.

I’m afraid your father is right, boys. I twisted unconsciously at the chain around my neck, aware my face held a scowl. I knew Jim wanted my
